Compiling the CVS Tree



I just downloaded the CVS tree.  I also downloaded and installed FreeType2
and intltools.  I ran into several snags trying to build Dia.

The software versions I have are:
	Linux      2.4.19
	GTK+       2.0.5
	GLIB       2.0.4
        FreeType   2.1.0
	gettext    0.11.1

(I noticed that libxslt is not found on my system, is that important for Dia?)

The problems I had are described in sequence, here.

1) autogen.sh stopped with this:

checking for version of FreeType... grep: invalid option -- / Usage: grep
[OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information.
grep: invalid option -- /
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more
information. grep: invalid option -- / Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN
[FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information. awk: cmd. line:1: BEGIN
{ printf "%d", ( * 1000 + ) * 1000 + ;} awk: cmd. line:1:
      ^ parse error .. ./configure: test: : integer expression expected
configure: error: Need FreeType library version 2.0.9 or higher, found ..

The problem comes from configure.in,
69: FREETYPE_INCLUDE=`freetype-config --cflags | cut -c3-'
70: FREETYPE_MAJOR=`grep '^#define FREETYPE_MAJOR' $FREETYPE_INCLUDE/freetype/freetype.h | cut -d' ' -f3`
71:FREETYPE_MINOR=`grep '^#define FREETYPE_MINOR' $FREETYPE_INCLUDE/freetype/freetype.h | cut -d' ' -f3`
72: FREETYPE_PATCH=`grep '^#define FREETYPE_PATCH' $FREETYPE_INCLUDE/freetype/freetype.h | cut -d' ' -f3`
73: FREETYPE_VERSION=`echo | awk "BEGIN { printf \"%d\", ($FREETYPE_MAJOR * 1000 + $FREETYPE_MINOR) * 1000 + $FREETYPE_PATCH;}"`

On line 69) it is assumed that 'freetype-config --cflags' produces a
result such as:
'-I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2'
Unfortunately, on my system at least, 'freetype-config --cflags' produces: 
'-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2'


2) If I patch around the above problem, autogen.sh stops again, this time
with:

Makefile:751: *** missing separator.  Stop.

The problems traces back to a Makefile.am, line 16, which reads:
@INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@

I've searched for a file that defines the INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE rule, and I
can't find it. I've read the intltools README file but I'm not sure what
inittools installation steps to do specifically for Dia.


3) If I patch around problem 2), make compiles everything (with a number of
warnings) but then stops with this:

/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `FT_Seek_Stream'
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Short'
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `FT_Forget_Frame'
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `FT_Access_Frame'
/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Long'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [dia] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/cvsroot/dia/app' make[1]: ***
[all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/cvsroot/dia' make: *** [all] Error 2


It appears that pango and freetype2 are out of step.  But by now I've got
to stop this experimenting.  For now I'll download Dia .90 and work with
that.

I started using Dia about 2 years ago on Windows.  I'm looking forward to
using in on my Linux system.  My main application is UML.

Thanks,
