Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Hi, Checking the manual of bcc32 carefully, I found that the option -o should not be used to specify the location of executable. It specifies the pathname for the object file, thus, the command bcc32 -oobjs\apinames.exe src\tools\apinames.c generates .\objs\apinames.exe, and

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Hi, Thank you for the experiment, yes -o was the root of our bcc32 problem. I reached same conclusion. My misunderstanding about 1-step 2-step was solved. I didn't receive the error you got (about HELLO.OBJ), but I agree with your observation that -o causes problem. Also thank you for the

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Dear Mirco, Could you try attached patch? Please revert my previous patch (adding CCexe_CFLAGS etc) before applying this. The patch changes APINAMES_EXE target more flexible and -e is used to generate objs\apinames.exe. I could build freetype.lib from GIT HEAD source + patch. diff --git

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Dear Mirco, Thank you for experiment. I will try to fix bcc.mk to put all object files into objs. BTW, the exist of temporary object files in the current directory is problematic? At present, make clean does not delete the object files in the current directory, so it should be fixed (if

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Hello, I tried the TLIB /u command manually and it gives the same error. I searched the internet about TLIB and with the /P option you can provide the page size. (see text below from http://cs.nyu.edu/~yap/classes/machineOrg/info/tlib.htm ) I tried TLIB /u /P128 ... and this works without

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Dear Mirco, Great Thank you for finding the option to fix the issue. If you apply this patch (after my previous patch posted 5 hours before), mingw32-make will add the option /P128 automatically. Please try. Regards, mpsuzuki diff --git a/builds/compiler/bcc-dev.mk b/builds/compiler/bcc-dev.mk

Dear mpsuzuki SUCCESS ! I applied this (and the other) patch to bcc.mk and bcc-dev.mk. I ran mingw32-make again from scratch and it now builds without errors ! Thank you very much. Regards, Mirco 2009/7/14 mpsuz...@hiroshima-u.ac.jp Dear Mirco, Great Thank you for finding the option to fix

Hello mpsuzuki, I started from scratch, unzipping freetype-2.3.9.tar.gz. I applied your patches to bcc.mk, bcc-dev.mk, win32-def.mk and exports.mk Then I ran mingw32-make. The apinames.exe is now build ok. But building the library fails with the continuating error Warning: invalid page size

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Hi, Update, I manually changed the bcc.mk to CCexe_LDFLAGS := -Lobjs It still results in the same error. I don't get it, it seems like the current directory is changed ? bcc32 -A -I.\objs -I.\builds\win32 -I.\include -c -q -y -d -v -Od -w-par -w-ccc -w-rch -w-pro -w-aus -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY

Hi, I think I made an error during the testing. Now the -L switch does not work when I'm testing with the command prompt. I think I had an apinames.obj in the basedirectory. I'm sorry about the -L switch, it was a waste of time. But the following sequence does work (first compile to the OBJ,

Hi, I overlooked a possibility that your modification of Makefile caused the failure to generate objs/freetype.def. You wrote: I commented out the build APINAMES.EXE in export.mk to see if the library is build fine. I guess you removed (or commented out) a line defining apinames.exe

Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

Hi, I don't know the makefile syntax. I just find it much too complex. You seem to understand this rather obfuscated language, so I believe you when you say that I may not remove the apinames.exe. If you can give me an adjustment for the apinames.exe, so it's a 2-phase step, first compile,
