Missing freetype2110.lib when building OgreMain [SOLVED]

[choef]

Hi, I get this error when trying to build OgreMain

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'freetype2110.lib'

I downloaded the full latest CVS on the 11th October.

I've downloaded the freetype2110 library, but there's no freetype2110.lib file
in there.

Help ?

If you are going to play with cvs HEAD then its assumed you know how to build the dependencies. You'l have to build the freetype library from source.

I don't want to play with the HEAD, I just want to get the
PLSM 2 Plugin to build, and I thought I had to build the ogre source
first. Then build the PLSM 2 library.

I downloaded the Dependecies for MS VC++ 2003, but the freetype2110.lib file is not in there with the other lib files.

Was wondering why not?
Has this lib file been included in Ogre recently?

I've also built an earlier version of the source with Code::Blocks using different Dependencies obviously.

Is the freetype2110 specific to VC++ ?

Just curious to learn about this stuff...

Thanks. I will try building the freetype lib.

I can't seem to find a project file to build.
A MS VC++ 2003 project file i mean.

Sorry - I'm new at this...

Could someone maybe send me the .lib file or something?

Thanks...

I've found a few forums relating to this problem.

I will look around and see if I can sort it out.

Sorry for the time wastage

Thanks,
Jeff...

Download freetype2110 source.

In include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h

comment the following line as stated by sinbad

Code: Select all

FT_USE_MODULE(otv_module_class)

so it becomes

Code: Select all

//FT_USE_MODULE(otv_module_class)

Then, using Visual studio open \builds\win32\visualc\freetype.dsw

and build everything.

You'll get the compiled libs in \objs

(there's now a new ogre SDK compatible binary and source released in ogreaddons forums to check out with almost all latest plsm2 features. Just missing occlusion culling.)

Get the SDK compatible download of plsm2 - you are a newbie, right?
So you don´t want to use a potentially unstable Ogre HEAD.

[choef]

I just want to make my own project using Ogre and PSLM2

I've got the latest binaries "PSLM2_Binary.zip", and I'm busy downloading SDK for MS VC++ 7.1 (2003)

If I install these,
Will I be able to get a project going using Ogre without
having to compile any Ogre or PSLM2 Source.

Thanks.

Thanks to tuan too,.
And sorry about the pm's - I just read the rules now.

[jacmoe]

You need to compile PLSM2 I guess.

Why to comment the following line?
Can you give some info for it?

Code: Select all

FT_USE_MODULE(otv_module_class)

Because 'otv' module can't compile with VC for now.
