Yes, it's xfstt again. I untarred the latest (V 1.0) source, and the g++ compile seems to go OK until link time, when it bombs out thus: -------- g++ compile message --------------------------------------- c++ -o xfstt RAFile.o TTFont.o NameTable.o HeadTable.o MaxpTable.o CmapTable.o LocaTable.o GlyfTable.o LtshTable.o HdmxTable.o VdmxTable.o FpgmTable.o PrepTable.o GaspTable.o HheaTable.o HmtxTable.o CvtTable.o Os2Table.o KernTable.o EbdtTable.o EblcTable.o RasterHints.o RasterScale.o RasterDraw.o xfstt.o encoding.o -g -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lm /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory make: *** [xfstt] Error 1 -------- g++ compile message --------------------------------------- I found the missing crtbegin.o in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3, and copied it to the xfstt source. Sigh, now 'make' gives another error: -------- g++ compile message --------------------------------------- /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lgcc: No such file or directory make: *** [xfstt] Error 1 -------- g++ compile message --------------------------------------- That /usr/i486-linux/bin directory contains what seems to be circular links, linking filenames like ld to themselves. Is that possible? It looks like the SuSE install doesn't put libs, etc where g++ or xfstt expects to find them. What's going on? I compiled xfstt-0.9.9 under my old SuSE 5.2 without a problem.
