Hello,
When building SDL_ttf, where should libfreetype.a be placed? I’ve tried
/usr/local/lib and /usr/lib but the ./configure script still says that it
can’t find freetype.
Thanks,
Ryan
After posting this, I realized that I forgot to run “make install” on
freetype. However, this didn’t make a difference, so I still have the same
problem.

When you install Freetype with the configure script,
it installs Freetype into /usr/local/lib and all the other
files that are needed. The thing is you need more files than
just the lib, you need also the include files and so on.

Hi Ryan,
You may want to clear SDL_ttf’s configure cache. I don’t remember how you can
do this… Just untar the package and do the thing from scratch.
Cheers,

Hello !
Does it install the shared and the static lib into /usr/local/lib ?
So libfreetype.a and …dylib ?

Hi,
It creates the following on ‘make install’:
/usr/local/include/freetype2
/usr/local/include/freetype2/ft2build.h
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/config <- a few headers
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/ <- a bunch of headers
/usr/local/lib/ <- shared and local libs
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
I’m using freetype-2.2.1 and SDL_ttf 2.0.8 with the latest SDL (forgot
number). I’m on a Mac OS 10.3.9.

It used to be that you could rm config.cache from your files to do
this… but I haven’t needed to do this in ages, and some of the
tricky things I’ve tried to install have been insane.
Can you specify exactly to configure where the freetype library is? As in
./configure --with-freetype-prefix=/usr/local/libOn 7/19/06, Ricardo Cruz wrote:
Hi,
That did it.
./configure --with-freetype-prefix=/usr/local
(Has to be /usr/local because the bin directory is in local).
Thanks to all,
Ryan

It is generally placed in /usr/X11R6/lib But you may need to install
the X11 SDK.
If you use the Xcode project, I include a special version of
libfreetype.a inside the tarball which is gcc 3.3 based for PPC but
4.0 based for x86 for maximum portability. You can just build with
Xcode, or you could muck with your autoconf settings to use this one.

What version of XCode would that project require?
I’m running 1.5 on my 10.3.9 (I think that’s the highest that can be run on
this OS) but every time I open the project XCode just sits there.
Thanks,
Ryan
