BUG: gnome-print build fails with ft2build.h error

[cssdev@…]

There's a problem building gnome-print with freetype2 installed. This issue looks like it came up on the gnome-darwinports list a year ago. The gnome-print sources do not properly include freetype2 headers: <​http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/gnome-darwinports/2004-April/000009.html>

In file included from gnome-font-install.c:29: /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:20:2: #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!" /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21:2: #error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files." /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:22:2: #error "Example:" /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:23:2: #error " #include <ft2build.h>" /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:24:2: #error " #include FT_FREETYPE_H"

It appears that the fix involves patching gnome-print: <​http://codex.sourcemage.org/stable/gnome1-libs/gnome-print/ftfix.patch>

While that approach works, it's not an ideal solution. A recent fink discussion reveals the same problem there: <​http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6740634&forum_id=4714>

A search on Google yeilded an old NetBSD discussion recommending symbolic links. <​http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2002/08/09/0003.html>

I'm not a GNOME user--I'm just trying to setup a third-party piece of software that requires the GNOME libraries. Hopefully someone with more familiary with GNOME can provide a resolution for DarwinPorts. Is someone working on updated sources? It seems that the patch mentioned above might be a band-aid solution.

Please, when creating bugs against existing ports, assign them to the corresponding maintainer(s). Thist information is available through "port info <portname>", just at the end of the output.

lesstif and xpdf do exactly the same

and the same also happens with freetype in /usr/X11R6 (xorg)

[ksahr@…]

The webpage ​http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_macosxclient/FreeType-1/ gives a fix that worked for me. In /opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h comment out lines 19-25 so you have:

#ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!" #error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files." #error "Example:" #error " #include <ft2build.h>" #error " #include FT_FREETYPE_H" #endif

This bug is also present under 10.4.3. I fixed it here by adding:

#include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H

before the include of freetype.h in each of these files:

gnome-print/libgnomeprint/gnome-font-private.h gnome-print/libgnomeprint/parseTT.h gnome-print/installer/gnome-font-install.c gnome-print/installer/gf-pfb.c gnome-print/installer/gf-ttf.c

This port installs a package that has been abandoned by the upstream maintainer since sometime in

2002. DarwinPorts has no ports that list this port as a dependency, so I would not attempt to install it

unless you are building a package that you know requires it.

Bug closed and set to resolution requested by Randall, our Gnome maintainer.
