• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description moonlite 2004-02-23 16:43:28 UTC]

xfree-compile stops when trying to compile xft, nothing more to say

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xft
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
i got this output:

make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r5/work/xc/lib/Xft'
rm -f xftdpy.o unshared/xftdpy.o

xftdpy.c:380: for each function it appears in.)
xftdpy.c: In function `XftDefaultSubstitute':
xftdpy.c:478: `FC_HINT_STYLE' undeclared (first use in this function)


Expected Results:  
it should compile

I had problems wit CC and CXX not being set because i used an old version of the
gcc ebuild...  but after i added CC and CXX to /etc/conf.d/05gcc i got this
error instead, i put it in as a new bug because i don't think it's related, true?

"Steps to reproduce" is wrong, it should say "emerge xfree" instead ofcourse

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-02-23 21:00:21 UTC]

Which version of freetype do you have installed?

[Comment 3 moonlite 2004-02-24 05:27:14 UTC]

2.1.3-r2

[Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 06:05:24 UTC]

Please upgrade to the latest stable version on your arch, at least 2.1.4.

[Comment 5 moonlite 2004-02-24 06:31:25 UTC]

i installed media-libs/freetype-2.1.5-r1 and the compilation fails at the same place with the same error-message

[Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 08:16:34 UTC]

Oops, try upgrading fontconfig too. I should've done a little more research. Although it can't hurt to be using current versions of both. =)

donnie@supernova donnie $ grep -r FC_HINT_STYLE /usr/include/
/usr/include/fontconfig/fontconfig.h:#define FC_HINT_STYLE          "hintstyle"/* Int */

[Comment 7 moonlite 2004-02-24 08:42:39 UTC]

Yep that solved it.

the xfree-ebuilds should probably depend on a higher version of fontconfig

[Comment 8 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 08:45:29 UTC]

Which version works, which doesn't?

[Comment 9 moonlite 2004-02-24 09:17:15 UTC]

Unfortunately i didn't check what version i had before i emerged the new fontconfig, real stupid of me, but i'm pretty sure it was 2.1.X at least

[Comment 10 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-02-24 09:23:21 UTC]

grep fontconfig /var/log/emerge.log

[Comment 11 moonlite 2004-02-24 13:06:27 UTC]

1077633702:  >>> unmerge success: media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1
1077633706:  ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1 to /

so the version i had was 2.1-r1 

[Comment 12 foser (RETIRED) 2004-03-07 15:32:08 UTC]

that version also included this define, so i doubt thats the problem here.

I assume this is not reproducable, closing it WORKSFORME.

Last time I checked, upstream != worksforme :P

Changing to correct resolution.
