Subject: Re: [cmake-developers] FreeType headers almost there but not quite ...
(SUMMARY Problem: I use PKG-CONFIG and get CAIRO_INCLUDE_DIRS, etc. as
needed for downstream
processing, but I never set the key variable FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR which
is treated as special-case
animal.)
Hi again,
I went back and was able to run cmake without my modifications, and the
build proceeded fine ... oh but
with_freetype was set to off, so that doesn't count. The same problem that
bothered me when I first dove into
the CMAKE system is still pestering me: Freetype library. The module in
the plplot distribution works fine for
only linux/unix hosts:
FIND_PATH(FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR freetype/config/ftheader.h
/usr/local/include/freetype2
/usr/include/freetype2
)
In MSYS case, /usr/local means nothing to CMAKE. The cmake distribution
has a (more inclusive, shotgun)
approach and I originally modified some (cmake-2.8).cmake modules to
a) find the /MSYS and /mingw anchors and set appropriate values for
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE _SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH, etc. in the MSYS case,
b) parse environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH and use pkg-config afcilities
in cmake to hook libraries in.
Of course that [b)] is what plplot/pkg-config.cmake does so I use that, and
I'm trying to incorprate the freetype library using it. But pkg-config
gives me a list of libraries
("_DIRS") and the scripting downstream wants the singular
FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR for compilation of plfreetype.c and wingcc.c;
I use a macro for generic library searches, BOILER_SEARCH which will
populate ${${xx}}_LIBRARY_ etc all of those names which are
(usually) the "same" for reading in a package. so I substitute, in plplot,
a call to boiler-plate just prior to freetype, and freetype is in turn
changed a little: if the boiler_plate routine didn't succeed a
findPackage(Freetype) call is made(so that older builds work without
pkg-config.)
Boiler_plate sets FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS and FREETYPE_CFLAGS as it does for
every other library, but freetype wants to use
FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR, directly in some cases (wingcc.cmake), which is never
set right. Since the other libraries are using the
${XXXX}_INCLUDE_DIRS names provided, they include freetype2 as indicated
from pkg-config.
plplot.cmake: where my modification goes: (ALL ELSE IS THE SAME)
include(shapelib)
BOILER_SEARCH(FREETYPE freetype2 Freetype
" we are gonna quit here, 'cause I have freetype all over the place")
include(freetype)

return()
with boiler_search(Freetype) acting, then, then logic in freetype goes:
# Look for freetype libraries
if (WITH_FREETYPE)
if( NOT FREETYPE_FOUND) # try harder this time: pkg-config didn't do it.
find_package(Freetype)
if (FREETYPE_FOUND)
message(STATUS "FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS = ${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS}") ##
<<<=== DIRS (a list) but compiles need _DIR!
message(STATUS "FREETYPE_LIBRARIES = ${FREETYPE_LIBRARIES}")
endif(FREETYPE_FOUND)
endif(NOT FREETYPE_FOUND)
if( NOT FREETYPE_FOUND)
set(WITH_FREETYPE OFF
CACHE BOOL "Enable driver options for using freetype library for fonts"
FORCE
)
endif (NOT FREETYPE_FOUND)
endif (WITH_FREETYPE)
OK, so I can patch this by running the configuration and then setting
FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR manually.
