Bugzilla Bug 25721

I can't emerge abiword-1.99.3.  Here are the last few lines of output:

*****************************

One of the Gentoo Forumers suggested I trim back on optimizations in my 
CFLAGS.  I have used:

********************
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 
CFLAGS="-pipe"
********************

and they have all resulted in the same error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge abiword-1.99.3

recompile freetype, fontconfig and pango, make sure they are all at the latest
stable version. Then try again.

This is not a optimizations problem, some libraries do not seem to be in sync
for whatever reason (have you been updating/downgrading one of the names libs
(?)).

Actually, I've also done this (but I forgot to mention that).  In fact,
upgrading fontconfig to the newest version is what added the second error there
("FT_Get_BDF_Property").

ok, remove those packages and then emerge pango or something, it should pull in
the right packages.

What version of xfree do you have and is the xft ebuild installed ? 

I have xfree-4.2.1, xft-2.0.1, fontconfig-2.2.0-r2, freetype-2.1.4, and
pango-1.2.1-r1.  After unmerging and fontconfig, freetype, and pango, and then
emerging pango, xft was upgraded to 2.0.1-r2.  But emerging abiword-1.99.3
results in the same error as before.

BTW, my USE flags are "3dnow mmx apm 3dfx X x86 xv dga fbcon opengl kde gnome
gtk2 alsa dvd avi mpeg quicktime pam ssl crypt java xml2".  Don't know if that
helps.

Oh, correction... xft is still 2.0.1, it has NOT been upgraded.  Should I
upgrade it?

yes upgrade it.

unrelated : having gtk2 as USE flag is not correct, you should also have gtk. So only USE="gtk gtk2" is right.

Updating xft has not helped.

I did a google search for "FT_Set_Hint_Flags" and it seems that that function has been removed from freetype.  I wasn't able to find out in which version.

what version of mozilla do you have around ?

I've got mozilla 1.4-r2.  I'm using galeon 1.3.7.

Strange, how'd you know I had mozilla?

just a guess... don't think its related after all

there may be some wrong freetype headers around, can you look around for them and figure out where they come from ?

Can you give some more lines of output, cause the really relevant part isn't in here.

Sure I can look for header files... um... what exactly am I looking for?  And
should they be in /var/tmp?

How much output do you want?

well a few more lines of the actual compile commands, so i can see where it
goes wrong.

Freetype has a lot of headers, but you could just look for 'freetype.h' . I'm
not that deep into the freetype API, but i think thats the commonly used
include.

OK, I went back a couple of g++ commands:

*************************************************************************

Also, from /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h, I see:

***********************************************************************
#define FREETYPE_MAJOR 2
#define FREETYPE_MINOR 1
#define FREETYPE_PATCH 4
***********************************************************************

so I believe it is the correct header file.

thats not really relevant here, i need to know if there are other headers
around . I don't need their contents, only their existence matters.  And
probably also would be interesting to know if other libs were around. Can you
also search for libfreetype.so around the system ?

I'm trying to figure something out here with little clues on a system i have
never seen, which probably has some weird stuff going on. Exact answers to my
questions might be more helpful than things you think might be relevant.

waiting for reply

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with other stuff.

The list of header files in /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ is:

fterrdef.h, ftmac.h, ftsizes.h, fttrigon.h, tttables.h, fterrors.h, ftmm.h, ftsnames.h, fttypes.h, tttags.h, freetype.h, ftglyph.h, ftmoderr.h, ftstroker.h, ftwinfnt.h, ftbbox.h, ftgzip.h, ftmodule.h, ftsynth.h, ftxf86.h, ftbdf.h, ftimage.h, ftoutln.h, ftsysio.h, ftcache.h, ftincrem.h, ftpfr.h, ftsysmem.h, t1tables.h, ftchapters.h, ftlist.h, ftrender.h, ftsystem.h, ttnameid.h

I searched /usr/ for libfreetype.so and found:

/usr/lib/libfreetype.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so

what is the ouput of 'ls -hal /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.*'

and try the latest version in portage btw (1.99.5)

I don't understand, I have portage-2.0.48-r5.  Typing "emerge -p
portage-1.99.5" yields:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "portage-1.99.5".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

what xfree are you using ? Your freetype links are wrong.

you are trying to emerge some nonexistant portage package, try abiword for a change.

OIC, I misread that comment about portage.  Emerging abiword-1.99.5 gives the
same errors.

I'm using xfree-4.2.1.

update your xfree .. you should use an xfree which uses the system freetype . I
thought 4.2.1 already did this, but the 4.3 series certainly do.

You can probably get around the problem by compiling it like this
'CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} /usr/lib/libfreetype.so" emerge abiword -p' or something
similar . Where you make sure the system libfreetype is the one chosen to link
with.

Worked like a charm!  Thank you for your help.

might 'fix' this by a dep if more problems turn up (which i doubt)
