[SOLVED] dejavu font pathway issue with a compile error

[aus9]

Hi

EDIT on sym link partial success but still need advice please

I have 2 issues with this but let me reveal my simple way first.
I load dejavu-fonts-ttf.tcz and test its loaded.......check
As I am running a build script, I tried to refresh my cache as a local user and root user with

Code: [Select]

(I am already root)
# fc-cache
# su -c 'fc-cache ' tc

in running "make check" I can't get past this error

Code: [Select]

# make check
Could not open "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf": No such file or directory

(after error research shows)
sudo find / -name DejaVuSans.ttf
/tmp/tcloop/dejavu-fonts-ttf/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

Notice compiler is looking at usr/share/fonts but file is under usr/local/share/fonts


issue 2
./configure --help suggests you can set your

--with-fontdir=path     Specify path to font config directory ( default:
                          fonts/conf.d/).

AFAIK we have /etc/fonts/conf.d

but my configure has prefix=/usr/local and so the configure result screen looks like this

Code: [Select]

Environment settings:
CFLAGS:          -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu99 -D_GNU_SOURCE
CXXFLAGS:        -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -Wall -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURCE
LDFLAGS:         -Wl,-O1
Build configuration:
cups-config:     system
font directory:  ${prefix}/etc/fonts/conf.d
init directory:  /etc/init.d
gs-path:         /usr/bin/gs
imagefilters:    yes
jpeg:            yes
pdftops:         gs
pdftops-path:    /usr/bin/gs
png:             yes
php:             no
php-config:      system
test-font:       /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
tiff:            yes
avahi:           no
browsing:        none
werror:          no

now my configure line ....it may change has no attempt to set that fonts as I am stumped

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--disable-avahi

This appears to be my culprit
font directory:  ${prefix}/etc/fonts/conf.d

BTW I selected these flags but it still giving me pedantic

export CFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe "
export CXXFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe "
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

I am currently thinking I may have to remove the prefix line to force the compile into normal /etc/fonts etc?
any advice will be greatly appreciated

###########   would it be acceptable to ##########
add a sym link form /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu to /usr/share/fonts/dejavu?

Would I then need to have that for tcz to work in future, by adding a tce.installed script?

that does the following:

ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/ /usr/share/fonts/dejavu
fc-cache

by doing so I get past make check error

Try with:

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--disable-avahi --with-fontdir=/etc/fonts/conf.d \
--with-test-font-path=/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

will do

its good to see what I wrote, silly me I meant  "path=/usr/local/bin/etc"  I must pay more attention to what I am writing eh? ok using my new config line I get this config result screen

font directory:  ${prefix}/etc//etc/fonts/conf.d

ok I will remove that string and try again

edit again

new config line now reads

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gs-path=/usr/local/bin/gs --with-pdftops-path=/usr/local/bin/gs \
--disable-avahi --with-test-font-path=/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

config result screen now reads

Code: [Select]

Environment settings:
CFLAGS:          -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe  -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu99 -D_GNU_SOURCE
CXXFLAGS:        -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe  -Wall -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURCE
LDFLAGS:         -Wl,-O1
Build configuration:
cups-config:     system
font directory:  ${prefix}/etc/fonts/conf.d
init directory:  /etc/init.d
gs-path:         /usr/local/bin/gs
imagefilters:    yes
jpeg:            yes
pdftops:         gs
pdftops-path:    /usr/local/bin/gs
png:             yes
php:             no
php-config:      system
test-font:       /usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
tiff:            yes
avahi:           no
browsing:        none
werror:          no

Let me see how that goes, its much improved

whether I should disable avahi or not time will tell

thanks heaps....no more edits this post

just ran a ----make check----with result

All 6 tests passed

no need for sym link for font path so I can remove tce.installed as well.

its looking better

[aus9]

cups-filters compiles but will need new cups, not yet build

For the moment marked as solved,

I suspect that the config result screen showing pedantic, is throwing up some errors I don't understand. But as make check is passing all tests lets hope its all good.

thanks AmatCoder

font directory:  ${prefix}/etc//etc/fonts/conf.d

I see. Then it needs:

Code: [Select]

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gs-path=/usr/bin/gs --with-pdftops-path=/usr/bin/gs \
--disable-avahi --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-test-font-path=/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

I suspect that the config result screen showing pedantic, is throwing up some errors I don't understand. But as make check is passing all tests lets hope its all good.

Don't worry about this...-pedantic is an option of gcc to "issue all the warnings demanded by strict ISO C/C++...". It's setted by developer into some makefile, those errors are not related with the building.

thanks AmatCoder

No problem.

as I am the local village idiot, I elected not to run

--sysconfdir=/etc

as my prev post output only seemed to confuse me, so with no string for that it built

usr/local/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf
usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/99pdftoopvp.conf

so it looks to my 6 brain cells to be a misleading switch.

cheers
