[mapserver-users] Compiling freetype

[Stepan Kafka]

Hi Steve,

I have good experience with this configuration:

1. Compiling gd 1.8.4. with freetype 1.2 (I had to edit makefile to ensure
the freetype 1.2) without make install.
2. Configuring and compiling mapserver with these options:

 ./configure --with-gd=static,/installs/gd-1.8.4 --with-ttf ...

  Predmet: [mapserver-users] Compiling freetype


  Good morning:

  I'm getting the error:   getSymbol(): Symbol definition error.
(FONT):(118)

  My goal is to get rotating text to work and have downloaded the freetype
1.2 library and the gd-1.8.4 library.

  It seems that this version of freetype does not make a libfreetype.a file
which is needed to make the symbols work in when compiling mapserver with gd
option.

  I've searched the archives and help sites, but I'm missing something
here---

  1.  Download freetype 1.2 and compile (check)
  2.  Download gd-1.8.4 and compile with -libttf (check)
  3.  Download mapserver_3.5 and configure
  ./configure --with-gd=/installs/gd-1.8.4   (since gd is compiled with
freetype--though there's no libfreetype.a generated?? I don't need
to --with-freetype)

  I guess my question is do what version of freetype do I need to make
libfreetype.a and do I really need that?

  Thanks
