Package: libftgl-dev
Version: 2.1.3~rc5-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Reporting from downstream in Ubuntu, just got a proposed patch for this bug,
saw it wasn't reported in Debian.
ftglGetLayoutBBox is misspelled in 3 locations inside
src/FTLayout/FTLayoutGlue.cpp, causing missing symbol errors when attempting
to link to libftgl. The prototype in the header file is fine, it's only the
C api version of the function which is affected.
I'm attaching a patch which has been confirmed to fix the problem in Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is tracking this bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ftgl/+bug/485225
Sourceforge also has this bug reported at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2121813&group_id=202130&atid=980349
Unfortunately, the original developer of libftgl seems to have gone awol.
The sourceforge repository containing the library hasn't been updated in
close to 2 years (last modification date was 2008-06-12. This bug has been
outstanding in the sourceforge tracker since 2008-09-21. Due to the lack of
a further upstream to push this to, I'm suggesting the patch be applied at
debian, and then trickle down from there.
