skype-2.1.0.81_1,1 font error

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

This is in 10-CURRENT with ports from /head:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD tiny-r255948 10.0-ALPHA4 FreeBSD 10.0-ALPHA4 #0 r255948: Tue Oct 1 
09:00:53 CEST 2013 g...@aurora.sisis.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

When Sk starts is complaines:

$ sh -x /usr/local/bin/skype 
+ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/local/share/skype/skype
--resources=/usr/local/share/skype
Fontconfig error:
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf, line 70:
non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error:
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf, line 70:
non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning:
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf, line 78: saw
unknown, expected number

but it comes up fine;

What makes me wonder is why the Linux binary makes access to our files
in /usr/local/...

$ ls -l /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  58 Oct  2 07:08 
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf - 
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf
$ ls -l /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1952 Oct  2 07:08 
/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf

Thx

matthias

This can happen if the syntax used in the .conf files is not compatible
between the fontconfig version in FreeBSD and in the linuxulator ports.

 What makes me wonder is why the Linux binary makes access to our files
 in /usr/local/...

That's by design. The linux program looks for /a/b/c, the linuxulator
first looks in /compat/linux/a/b/c, and if it doesn't find it there, it
looks in /a/b/c. If it wouldn't work like that, you wouldn't be able to
access your home directory without manual work to also make it
available in the /compat/linux subtree. And the
linux_base-infrastructure makes heavy use of this so that you only have
to configure the corresponding FreeBSD part and the linux-counterpart
works without further work. Fontconfig is just one of the things which
make use of this.

Bye,
Alexander.
