[squeak-dev] FreeType in linux

Hi there,

I'm trying to install freetype 0.4 from universes in an ubuntu 7.10

The vm version is 3.9-8 from linux debian repository (i686 in a monocore
32 bit system)

The installation goes ok untill plugings which never ends and CPU
remains in 100% (and hot!)

I remember it happen this to me in windows until I've set a different VM
(3.10.2 alpha)

any clue?

thanks

Re: [squeak-dev] FreeType in linux

On Windows I have only ever been successful installing the plugins from the installer maybe 30% of the time I tried! In fact, I have had the same results as you.

But...it always copied the files and THEN died. Once the dll's were on my machine, I could install just the Freetype package.

Now if I need to do a clean install, I just make sure I have all the dll's in my squeak vm directory, and only install the Freetype package itself.

Can you do that? You may have to actually download the Monticello package and install it manually from within Monticello. I have just recently become pretty good at that if you need somebody to walk you through which buttons you have to push!

In short, I would suggest:

1. Get the proper linux dll's needed for freetype (can't help you there).

2. Install the freetype package by itself.

Hope this helps,

Rob Rothwell

I've just tried this on Ubuntu 7.10 to see what is going on.
The plugins installer is trying to install the plugins into /usr/bin but
they should go into /usr/lib/squeak/3.9-8

I suggest that you extract FT2Plugin and BitBltPlugin from the
FreeTypePluginInstaller3.sar file (you will probably find this in the
universetmp folder).
Copy them into /usr/lib/squeak/3.9-8

Then install FreeType Plus 0.4 from SqueakMap rather than from Universes.

This worked for me.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andrew,

yes, that makes the 100% CPU not to happen anymore. Image starts as
usual. Preferences shows the FreeType options.
The only question which remains is about having more fonts. In my windows image
I have the Vera Sans (with spaces in its name) but in this linux one I have just
the default Squeak fonts. Any of the packages installs fonts?

cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
