hello all, i've installed 1.4_rc4 and i want to emerge fluxbox as my wm. it is failing with the following errors:

Code:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so: undefined reference to 'FcPatternAddInteger'
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so: undefined reference to 'FcPatternAddBool'

... and so on

collect2: Id returned exit status


anyone know how i can fix this problem and get fluxbox to emerge? oh, if it helps, i'm currently running xfree 4.3.0-r1.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

I had the same problem after doing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xfree. XFT and FontConfig also gets upgraded if it is correct. But it looks like your XFT is not compile agains the right FontConfig library.. try updating Freetype, FontConfig and then recompiling Xft2.

regards

ok, i tried what you suggested and freetype, fontconfig, and xft2 emerged fine, but the fluxbox emerge still fails with the same error.

here is what i did

Code:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge freetype ==> freetype-2.1.4
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge fontconfig ==> fontconfig-2.1.94-r1
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xft ==> xft-2.0.1-r2
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge fluxbox ==> fluxbox-0.1.14


here are some additional information that might be helpful. at the begining of the fluxbox emerge, it complained about AM_PATH_XFT

Code:

aclocal: configure.in: 226: macro 'AM_PATH_XFT' not found in library
util/Makefile.am:6: invalid unused variable name: '_SOURCES'
util/Makefile.am:8: invalid unused variable name: '_LDADD'


and my CFLAGS is

Code:

CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -03 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -fprefetch-loop-arrays"


any suggestions on what else can i try?

thanks

have also tried a few things to solve the problem...
but no way I am still having the problem with:
AM_PATH_XFT and undefined symbol in libxft :(

- unmerging mozilla (could have been source of conflict)
- upgrade to xfree 4.3.0 r2
- completly remove any reference in my system to:
freetype, fontconfig, xft, then reemerge cleanly

fluxbox won't compile, snirf...

upgrading to xfree-4.3.0-r2 seem to have done the trick. i can emerge fluxbox now. but in order to emerge to xfree-4.3.0-r2, xft2 need to be unmerged.

unmerge xft, update xfree, and than re-emerge fluxbox. that works for me.
