Description Craig Bradney 2004-07-20 15:32:22 UTC
As a Scribus developer, I was happy to see FT 2.1.9 in portage, albeit masked. It compiles and runs perfectly. Scribus can now use Outline fonts again properly as this is one of the things finally fixed after it was broken in 2.1.4. KDE runs and looks fine. However, GTK apps look a bit ugly and I thought I would try rebuilding GTK+ 2.4.1. Results below...

Expected Results:  
I expected it to build.. but wasnt surprised. Perhaps GTK 2.4.4 is required but
right now I cant try it out. Anyway.. this is also a note to say FT 2.1.9 builds
perfectly. For now I have reverted to FT 2.1.5-r1.

Comment 1 Craig Bradney 2004-07-21 10:30:38 UTC
AFAIK, 2.1.8+ have a different location for header files which is more than likely the reason for this issue, which is why I thought the newer GTK might have a chance of compilation. Maybe someone can try this.
Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-03 06:57:51 UTC
i thought 2.4.1 already used the fixed include scheme (?) apparently it doesn't.

Should be easy to patch... someone has some spare time to diff it up ?
Comment 3 Patrik Kullman 2004-09-22 04:26:47 UTC
Works with Gtk+-2.4.9-r1 renamed to 2.4.10 and removal of the 2.4.9 security patch.

Didn't try with 2.4.9-r1, but should work?
Comment 4 Benoit Boissinot 2004-12-19 13:38:16 UTC
i think this should now be closed (i had no problem with x11-libs/gtk+-2.4.14 and media-libs/freetype-2.1.9)

regards

Benoit
Comment 5 Craig Bradney 2004-12-19 14:42:06 UTC
Quite possibly
Comment 6 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-20 14:10:22 UTC
For me it still fails with freetype-2.1.9 and gtk+-2.4.14, I  had gtk+-2.4.14 installed successfully before upgrading to freetype-2.1.9...

I get the exact same error as in the original comment in this Bug.
Comment 7 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-20 14:20:56 UTC
The offending file, /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h, seems to be not contained in gtk+, but rather in xfree. 

Maybe this only works with xorg-x11, but not with the older xfree?
Comment 8 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-21 00:10:27 UTC
I can't confirm this, gtk+-2.4.14 build fine for me with freetype-2.1.9.

centic, can you post something breaking and your emerge info? I suspect x11 related problems though...
Comment 9 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-21 05:50:00 UTC
gtk+-2.4.9 and up are confirmed using the correct include lines, so that doesn't make this a blocker for #49494 anymore.

I'm leaving this open because of centics report.
Comment 10 Dominik Stadler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-24 05:05:53 UTC
I am still having the error when emerging gtk+-2.4.14, the file that breaks is /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h, which is part of x11-base/xfree.

I suspect that switching to xoxorg-x11 instead of xfree would solve that problem. I will try that in the next few days and report back.
Comment 11 Andrew Bevitt 2004-12-25 16:36:45 UTC
Created attachment 46887 [details, diff]
Possible fix

x11-base/xfree is being removed in roughly a week (ie ~ 1st jan 05)
This is definately an xfree only issue, it doesnt effect xorg-x11.

This patch, might (really it only looks at Xft.h), fix this compile problem,
but really I havent tested this or anything, it just looks right.

You'll need to apply it as root from / with :
patch -Np0 < /path/to/xfree-freetype-2.patch
Comment 12 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-28 06:51:31 UTC
I was under the impression most xfree already had this correct all along (?)
Comment 13 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-28 11:33:12 UTC
The freetype in xfree is probably so old that it didn't have that issue. Anyhow, this is a WONTFIX as far as I'm concerned, since xfree is gone in 3-4 days. But it's nice to have that patch as a reference for anyone else still using xfree.
