Exult Forum

Hey guys, I trying to build Exult 1.0 from source on Linux Red Hat 7.1, and in 'make' it ends up with this error:

fontgen.cc:31:22: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
fontgen.cc:32:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or
make[2]: ** [fontgen.lo] Erro 1
make[2]: Saindo do diretório `/home/l33mhz/exult-1.00/shapes'
make[1]: ** [all-recursive] Erro 1
make[1]: Saindo do diretório `/home/l33mhz/exult-1.00'
make: ** [all-recursive-am] Erro 2

it's in portuguese:
"Erro" = Error;
"Saindo do diretório" = Leaving directory;


Please, if anyone know what to do to build it right, let me know... I'm really desperate to play it on my linux box.

thanks in advance,

Hm, this means it can't find the freetype 2 header file 'ft2build.h'. Do you have that installed on your system anywhere?

Also, what does the command 'freetype-config --cflags' return?

Hello again!

wjp, the command returns "-I/usr/include/freetype2"..
but there's no 'ft2build.h' on it or anywhere on my system..
there is a 'ftbuild.h' on /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/, I wonder if that one works?? Even if it works, how will I point the exult installation to that one? Or, should I try to find 'ft2build.h' somewhere and put it on my system so that it will be found?

Thanks in advance for your patience and help,

Why not run configure with the --disable-tools switch ?

the relevant source file (shapes/fontgen.cc) is always compiled when freetype 2 is found

I got it to work!! Thanks a lot for your help, everyone!

Just in case someone is experiencing the same problem, that's what I did:

- I installed the latest Freetype 2 (www.freetype.org), and then I added "/usr/include/freetype2" to my $PATH; This is the path I got from "freetype-config --cflags".

That's it, it's running okay now!! Thank you!!

adding an include directory to your PATH doesn't do anything. $PATH is just used for locating executables.

(Unless freetype-config is in that dir? It isn't for me, but you never know )
