libftgl not Found #381

Closed charlesneimog closed 1 year ago

charlesneimog commented 1 year ago

Hi, I am on Fedora. And I have this error:

/home/neimog/Documents/Pd/externals/Gem/Gem.pd_linux:libftgl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

gem version: 0.94; Fedora 38; Pd 0.54

you have to manually install ftgl.

the deken package for Linux (i assume you've installed via deken, as you haven't indicated otherwise) does not come with any dependencies, so you have to install them yourself.

to quote from the README that is shown when installing Gem via deken:

LINUX users

please note that while we do provide downloadable pre-compiled binaries via deken, these do not include any dependencies, so are unlikely to run out-of-the box.

instead, we suggest installing Gem via your distribution's package manager (which might install just enough dependencies to also get the snapshot to work).

in general, we suggest to compile Gem yourself: https://git.iem.at/pd/Gem

thanks!

On Fedora:

sudo dnf install libndi-sdk ftgl glfw

at least for me now...

well, the packages you need to install depend heavily on the packages that are already installed. i can think of at least a handful of additional packages that are missing from your list to get all the features from the binaries.

otoh, if you only need core functionality, then you certainly do not need libndi-sdk.

anyhow, your input is appreciated (and will hopefully help future fedora users)
