Bug 25401 – Blender Ebuild does not enable freetype support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brian Nickel 2003-07-27 20:17:53 UTC]

Blender supports true type (freetype) fonts only if the --with-freetype2=path
flag is enabled during compile. As these are the majority of fonts on modern
systems, this flag should be enabled by default (at least when USE="truetype")

I'll attach a basic ebuild that handles most of blender's options with USE flags.

Reproducible: Always

An ebuild with Freetype support

[Comment 2 Stephane Loeuillet 2003-10-01 07:21:16 UTC]

seems freetype is found with actual blender 2.28a ebuild :

	truetype? ( >=freetype-2.0 )

	# TrueType support (For text objects)
	if [ -n "`use truetype`" ]
	then
		myconf="${myconf} --with-freetype2=/usr"
	fi

so, your fix was included. time to close this bug report

ldd /usr/bin/blender
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40015000)
        ...

the bug will stay open till 2.28c reach stable, as reminder
