Please Installation Urge HELP! [SOLVED]

Postby reixons » Fri Nov 28, 2008 21:45

Hi everybody. I am trying to install (compile) CEGUI on Ubuntu 8-04 and I am unable...
This is what I do (correct me please if I am doing sth wrong):
- Download CEGUI-0.6.1.tar.gz
- Extract it
- ./bootstrap (no error info shown on screen)
- ./configure ( at the end I get:

No package 'freetype2' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables freetype2_CFLAGS
and freetype2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
)

- Here I think I shoul execute 'make' but there is NO MAKEFILE in the directory...

I need it installed urgently... What do I have to do?
THANKS in advance

search for a package called "freetype2-dev" or -devel or something like that, install it and try to configure again. You may be missing some more "-dev" or "-devel" packages.

I tried with "aptitude" and "apt-get" but the only package I found was "freetype2-demos" and I already installed it... It is quite strange... Don't know what to do...

Just one more thing... To be able to compile programs that use CEGUI, should I install all packages? the 4 I can download from the page?
What package is CEGUI-OPENGL?

Thanks again

Hi,

You will only need one package to use CEGUI, which will be - for example - the CEGUI-0.6.1.tar.gz file (which you unpack, configure, make and install). If you want the documentation also, you could get CEGUI-0.6.1-DOCS.tar.gz (there is no install for these at the moment, they just unpack and you access them in place).

CEGUI-OPENGL is a pkg-config package that brings in CEGUI and the OpenGLRenderer module for CEGUI - it is installed when you build CEGUI with the OpenGL renderer module. Conversely, the CEGUI package is just the CEGUI base library - no renderer is automatically referenced for linking.

CE.
