Compiling static libs with GCC on OSX

| I need help compiling the FreeType 2 static lib with GCC on Xcode. This has been getting put off for about 9 months now. Does anyone have experience with this? |
| ||
| Wouldn't it just be ./configure && make? |
| ||
| What does that mean? I just say those words and it works? |
| ||
| Pop open a terminal window, go to the freetype directory, and type it. Barring that, read the readme, 'cause I never had any trouble building it. |
| ||
| It just says permission denied. Last edited 2011 |

| Where exactly did you put the source? |

It's on the desktop. Here's the terminal session:Last login: Sat Jun 11 13:27:22 on ttys000 Josh-Klints-iMac:~ jklint$ cd /Users/jklint/Desktop/freetype-2.4.3 Josh-Klints-iMac:freetype-2.4.3 jklint$ ./configure && make -bash: ./configure: Permission denied Josh-Klints-iMac:freetype-2.4.3 jklint$ Permissions for the "configure" file are "Read & Write" for everyone.

| I don't think I can diagnose that without access to the system, so best thing I can suggest is check the permissions for: ~/Desktop, ~/Desktop/freetype-2.4.3, ~/, etc. and see if any of them have unusual permissions that would not allow you to read/write from them. For reference, my results (just now).  It built fine. |

| Want to send me the compile static lib for OSX? This is the last part I need to build LE3 on OSX. Last edited 2011 |

| Assuming your address hasn't changed, I sent a .zip file to you with the 2.4.4 static library (I think it was the right one). On the other hand, there's also a dylib, so who knows. |

| Okay, I added the .a file into the project tree, and it appears like the framework icons. Then I include these two files in my main header: #include "../Source/Libraries/freetype-2.4.4/include/ft2build.h" #include "../Source/Libraries/freetype-2.4.4/include/freetype/ftlcdfil.h" #include FT_FREETYPE_H and I get a lot of errors like this: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> on lines like these: #include FT_INTERNAL_OBJECTS_H #include FT_INTERNAL_DEBUG_H So I wonder if I am including the right header file?

| Argh, I had to remove the old .c files I had included. LEADWERKS ENGINE 3 JUST BUILT FOR OSX FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! No graphics window yet, but it compiles and links. Thanks! |
