Hi Laurence,
@Jean-S
(1) libjpeg
That's strange, I don't know if mingw32 on ubuntu is using the same
files as on windows. I'm currently not using the offical verison of
MinGW (latest verison 5.1.6,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/) because it is using a GCC
compiler version 3.x. Instead I'm using a build from
http://nuwen.net/mingw.html#download (currently using 4.3) which is
bundled with a more recent GCC compiler (version 4.3.3). The package
also includes libjpeg version 7.
Yes, and I'm using the same installer to test with. I actually started
with your tutorial on installing MinGW and MSYS, and then customized a
few things. :-)
(2) freetype
While this indeed solve the issue without modifying the code, it moves
the problem to the shell. Since users still need to manually type this
fix...
But I think it's better to make the code general and let links handle
the difference than the opposite. Else the code becomes a spaghetti of
#if(MINGW) #elsif(...) ...
A symlink is a simple and clean way to make your system's directory
structure look more standard. Since thousands of developers actively use
OSG on various flavors of Linux, and it uses <freetype/...>, I think
making MinGW follow this (even if by default it puts the headers in
<freetype2/...>) is a more general solution.
(3) curl
That should probably do the trick, I'll see if I can make it work.
I've actually fixed the problem in my local checkout at home, but I had
a few more tests to do yesterday and it was late so I opted to go sleep
and send the fixes tomorrow (today). So I will hopefully send the fixes
I needed to use to build OSG on MinGW/MSYS tonight. I had a few more
fixes to make than what you said, but perhaps they're in things you
didn't opt to compile, like osgmovie, osgviewerSDL, the TXP plugin, ...
Stay tuned,
J-S
