Trouble installing FreeType2 into Imager

Posted on 2009-07-04 09:15:05-07 by richardmortimer

Hi,

I've just discovered and started using Imager - firstly, thanks, it's a great module with a lot of good features.

I want to put some text onto an image, and have installed FreeType2, but I'm unclear how to link the libraries into the Makefile(?).

[root@webbox Imager-0.67]# freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include

How do I make Imager look there for FreeType2?

Thanks

Richard

Re: Trouble installing FreeType2 into Imager

As long as freetype-config is in the PATH, you should be able to just re-run the installation.

If you have previously installed Imager you could:

cpan> force install Imager

but this will install even if Imager fails tests.

To avoid that:

cpan> look Imager $ perl Makefile.PL done. gif: includes found - libraries found ungif: includes found - libraries found jpeg: includes found - libraries found png: includes found - libraries found tiff: includes found - libraries found freetype2: configured via freetype-config T1-fonts: includes found - libraries found TT-fonts: includes found - libraries found w32: includes not found - libraries not found ... $ make $ make test $ sudo make install

Where the

freetype2: configured via freetype-config

means it found your freetype 2 installation successfully.

Re: Trouble installing FreeType2 into Imager

Thanks - it's working after a recompile. I'm now successfully writing on my photos, the test page is here:

Enjoy!
