FONTCONFIG_LIBS configuration missing (Fedora) #38

Closed luan-cestari closed 10 years ago

luan-cestari commented 10 years ago

I got an issue trying to install it on fedora. I replace each debian package described in the installation instructions to the packages found in fedora repository (which the command would be sudo yum install cmake python3-devel SDL2-devel ftgl-devel SDL2_image-devel opus-tools glew-devel freeglut-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel opusfile-devel mingw32-fontconfig, after it is working we can even add in the documentation). The problem is with the FONTCONFIG_LIBS variable (the output message claims, the whole output is here), which I think it would need to be defined but I don't know to where exactly, any guess? Thank you guys in advance

mingw32-fontconfig is the wrong library; fontconfig is a core part of each linux distro, it should be installed already (I think?). There should be a file /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.whatever.

Thanks for the Fedora packet list btw, that's indeed something for the how-to-build doc

luan-cestari commented 10 years ago

I didn't know that, thanks =) (I thought that you guys chose that library to do the cross compilation). I tried 'export FONTCONFIG_LIBS="/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1" ' and 'export FONTCONFIG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1" ' but both didn't work, got the same error message =/

By the way, I have the /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.8.0 , I can run readelf (or other command) if you think that could output something meaningful for this issue.

Thank in advance for helping me =)

Do you have the file (symlink) /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so?

luan-cestari commented 10 years ago

Nice =D It worked. I could not understand why the other library isn't expose (I tried to search in the confiigure file and it isnt a explicit specific reference to that library). So I just executed 'sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so && sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so' and it worked like a charm. Then, when I tried to make it, I got an error due my misunderstood with mingw32, so I fixed that with 'sudo yum install fontconfig-devel'

Now it generated the binary but when I ran it got an wierd execption: $ ./openage MSG launching engine with data directory './' MSG initialized SDL audio subsystems. MSG Using audio device 'default' [freq=48000,format=32784,channels=2,samples=2048] MSG initialized SDL video subsystems.

I tried to find that document in the project, but I didnt find it. I got the source from the tar.gz file of the web site, do you think it would be better try the master branch from github?

You need to convert the game assets first; you need a copy of the original age of empires for that. See building.md

mic-e commented 10 years ago

cmake support says that the /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so symlink is usually part of the development package (fontconfig-devel). Can you confirm?

luan-cestari commented 10 years ago

Well, I installed the fontconfig-devel package and it didnt work. It created /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.8.0 and /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (symbolic link ).I will take a look on building.md later , thank you for helping me =D

Hello,

I just spun up a Fedora 20 x86_64 install and ran the following commands:

# yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
# yum install -y gcc gcc-c++
# yum install -y cmake python3-devel SDL2-devel ftgl-devel SDL2_image-devel \
opus-tools glew-devel freeglut-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel opusfile-devel \
fontconfig-devel git

Finally I grabbed openage and built using:

$ git clone https://github.com/SFTtech/openage.git \
   && cd openage && ./configure && make

<snip>
[100%] Built target openage

Notice I installed the fontconfig-devel package and not the mingw32-fontconfig package.

mic-e commented 10 years ago

Seems like installing fontconfig-devel fixes the issue after all; closing as fixed.
