Scribus 1.5 svn installation - freetype error

[toroka]

Hi there!

I have installed LMDE lately. As I previously used Scribus 1.5 with other distros and I have some templates prepared with that version, I wanted to install under LMDE, as well, but no success. I am stuck at the installation of freetype. The error message I receive is:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message):
Could NOT find Freetype (missing: FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS)

The funny thing is that freetype is installed. See partial output of

Code: Select all

locate freetype

I don't know, whether I understood well, but I have even tried to edit the above mentioned "Include Directories" section like this:

#Set up include dirs with all found packages
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/scribus
${QT_INCLUDES}
${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR}/usr/include/freetype2
${FONTCONFIG_INCLUDE_DIR}
${JPEG_INCLUDE_DIR}
......

No more idea. Anyone has a clue?

[py-thon]

Two ideas, but I don't know whether they'll solve anything:
1. Add an S to your added line, it should read "FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS".
2. Check whether scribus 1.5 needs a newer version of freetype than the one that comes with LMDE.

Also there could be some specific issues with Cmake itself..

Additionally use the latest version of Cmake that is available, that may fix some errors that existed for an earlier version..

Thanks guys for the quick reply, I need some time to check them!

Thanks py-thon

To 1. -

Code: Select all

${FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR}

is part of the original script and I have simply added /usr/include/freetype2 as my part. I do not think, that I should change to ...INCLUDE_DIRS. (To be frank I tried, but it did not help.)

To 2. I found only one piece of information about that:

Official:Compilation Requirements: Freetype2 2.1.7+. Due to various freetype2 bugs, we recommend, if your distribution/OS allows, to use 2.3.x

and I have libfreetype6 2.5.1-1 (both 64 and 32 bits).

I may try to downgrade. or install newest freetype version, what is 2.5.3, but first, I'll check what was suggested by DrHu

Thanks anyway!

Starting form the other end. I have downloaded latest cmake. I tried to install from cmake-gui. It first complained about missing gtk and again about Freetype . Then I installed from synaptic what I thought to be handy, it complained again about curses and qt-core. I Installed qt4-core, too. Now it has only one error:

Curses libraries were not found. Curses GUI for CMake will not be built.

Here I stop for a while.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding on my part, because in your first post, you quoted a line that contained the "S".

I wouldn't downgrade. The mentioned bugs won't exist in 2.5.1-1 if 2.3.x is recommended (but there might be others...).

If you are brave and have an uptodate backup you could try the deb-files from Ubuntu's ppa at https://launchpad.net/~scribus/+archive ... /+packages
Click the arrow before scribus-trunk-.... and you can directly download the 1.5.0svn for 14.04 (which should be more similar to LMDE than 14.10

Yes, there was, but that was in the error message. Then I tried to include the path into the script where was a FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR command without S.

I thought the same. Thanks anyway.
