127674 - Mandrake problem with FreeType

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Carsten Menke]

I'm not able to build Mozilla anymore since Feb. 24th. I have even tried to pull
the tree completly again, but same result.

SYSTEM:
Mandrake 8.0 gcc-2.95.3 glib-2.2.2 gtk-1.2.10 kernel-2.4.8-ac7

BUILD OPTIONS:
ac_add_options --prefix=/usr/lib/mozilla-097
ac_add_options --libdir=/usr/lib/mozilla-097
ac_add_options --includedir=/usr/include/mozilla-097
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --enable-mathml
ac_add_options --enable-svg   
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O6 -march=i686 -mcpu=i68
ac_add_options --disable-dtd-debug
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/mo
ac_add_options --with-user-appdir=".mozilla-098"
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR:

1. disable the build of svg (no result)
2. Lowering Optimizations to -O2 (no result)
3. Disabling --prefix --includedir --libdir (no result)

I could not enable debug, as I have only 2.1 GIG Free Diskspace, the last time
this filled my Harddisk completley up.

Forget to say, that the tinderboxen were all green when I pulled the tree.
Tried again, today, no resolution

Comment 2

[Jon Granrose]

this is probably related to bstell's work on 126713.  Brian?

Lets start by seeing if we can get you building.
Would you add this to the build options:

  --disable-freetype2

Carsten: Since I don't see this problem in house I'd like to work with you
to figure out how to fix this. What hours are you online?

Comment 5

[Carsten Menke]

Wow, what a quick reply, I was actually online the whole day (it's daytime here
in Europe), now I have to leave the house for a couple of hours, I'm back in
around 4 hours, I would gladly help to resolve this problem.

In the meantime why I'm out I try to build it using --disable-freetype2.

Should I email you when I'm back ?

yes, please email me at both [e-mail] and [e-mail]

I will also be on #mozilla on IRC.

Comment 7

[Carsten Menke]

Firstly a really big praise goes out to bstell. We have fightened out this issue
on IRC. This happenes because, Mandrake has freetype2 as a seperate package
installed, due to that I upgraded XFree86 to XFree86-4.1.0 from source I had two
freetype2, as XFree86 comes also with freetype2 (version 2.0.1) But Mandrake has
installed 2.0.2 by default.

The problem could be solved to symlink /usr/include/freetype2.
e.g. ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 /usr/include/freetype2

to match the Version of XFree86's freetype2. I don't know yet if other
dependices for other programs occour by this, but Mozilla builds again.

[Carsten Menke]

Forget to say, that it could also be solved by using

--disable-freetype2

if that is whished.

Comment 9

[Carsten Menke]

OK, Just for the case another one is running into this problem I tracked this
further down. I found out, that probably other Mandrake 8.0 users could as well
get into this, wether they recompiled XFree86 with freetype2 or not. 

REASON:
Mandrake 8.0 installs by default ft2build.h in /usr/include and as well in
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/

with the difference that these two files are not the same ones.

WHAT I HAVE DONE: (finally):

In Addition to the Reason at the top, I had also upgraded XFree86 to
XFree86-4.1.0 with freetype2 provided by XFree86. (XFree86-4.1.0 comes with
2.0.1). To solve the problem now for me finally I have downloaded freetype2-2.02
(as Mandrake 8.0 comes with 2.0.2 (but seems to be tweaked by Mandrake)).
from: http://www.freetype.org

I deleted (or if you want to feel save rename it)
/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype*
Recompiled it with:
make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr/X11R6 --bindir=/usr/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man"
make 
make install

add /usr/X11R6/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig'

IMPORTANT NOTE:
don't remove or symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/module/fonts/libfreetype.a
as otherwise, XFree86 will make you problems.

RESOLUTION:
1. Mozilla builds fine
2. No further problems remarked

changed title

Comment 11

[Carsten Menke]

OK, one thing remarked later is that the installation of freetype-2.0.2 puts
ft2build.h
under /usr/X11R6/include but it searches ft2build.h under
/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2

Either move it there or do, (as I have done) make a symlink like this:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/ft2build.h  /usr/X11R6/include/ft2build.h 

Hope that this was the last thing that made problems
