Development troubleshooting

Thanks
I removed libfreetype6-dev as you suggested, but then the headers disappeared too, so i reinstalled it. Then, after editing the cmakelists to set the freetype library paths to the static paths, running cmake with some added settings (-DFREETYPE_H_PATH_ft2build=/usr/include/freetype2 -DFREETYPE_H_PATH_ftconfig=/usr/include/freetype2 -DCEGUI_HAS_FREETYPE=True) succeeded, and the CEGUI build succeeded. But then I built Thrive and I'm in the same old bind.

Oh chute I didn't make install.

Edit: And one make install later, we are back to square one.

Edit: This time I've removed libfreetype6 but not dev, leaving headers and stuff intact. Let's see if that works.

Edit: It didn't, I got linker errors since Ogre expects a dynamic freetype library and CEGUI links against Ogre. Could you try looking through your bash history?

Glorious news worthy of a double post:

We have liftoff :D!

liftoff:

But I see ugly stuff going on with stretching:

stretchy:

Anyway that's nothing compared to getting it all working yay :D!

As for how I got it working, I think I may have neglected to ldconfig one of the last times I rebuilt CEGUI, or so my garbled bash history tells me. Needless to say, I figured that out after an ldconfig prompted a relinking of Thrive and RunTests

Oh yes, I also edited the CMakeCache directly to change the libfreetype path from .so to .a. That would more likely have been the solution.

Great to see!

Could you perhaps add some troubleshooting tips to the ubuntu build document for potential future installers? You probably have a better idea how to get it worked now

The stretching isn't perfect, and it's very possible to add some bounds for the displayed text if thats what you're mostly bothered about, but obviously at those dimensions things aren't going to look great

Hrmm It looks like you might have missed a step or two from the setup of the pre-build environment https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/mingw_setup/readme.txt are you sure you did the necessary git submodule update and ran the powershell script?
The powershell script should be replaceable by downloading this file: directory: mega.co.nz #!pAJgCADK!JZrwB4a2dw-3TBXGj_AImOysEazeVWXm_F_lfxUr7_Q although one person has reported an issue with that I have not yet looked into.

Reallly if all you wanted to mess with initially is lua specific stuff (as is what we discussed on github) then you could simply just get an up to date build and simply copy scripts over (I even have a batch script for that you can have)! Lemme know!

You'll need to run git submodule init and git submodule update to pull in the googletest dependencies. Assuming that you're running command line that is.

Figured it out ages ago. Thanks though.
