i don't know know where you have heard this, but it is definitely wrong. > I`d like to know if there is any version of gem available with text see http://gem.iem.at all "official" versions of Gem come with text support (afaik) > support on OSX or is it possible to compile it and if so then could > someone help me with it as I have no idea how to compile it myself. obivously it is possible to compile Gem, sice the devs do so ;-) compiling a _basic_ Gem is as simple as: installing the xcode tools. checkout Gem open a console, "cd Gem/src" and do "make" (running "make" will run "aclocal", "autoconf", "./configure" and "make") this however, will still give you no text-support. (but at least you have managed to compile Gem; this is a good start) to add text support you need freetype2 and FTGL; the latter is part of GemLibs. to install freetype2 either get it from the web (afaik this is a sourceforge probject) and compile+install it (according to the documentation that comes with it) the simpler way is, to install the freetype2 and freetype2-dev packages via fink. then compile and install FTGL (open the FTGL-project in GemLibs/FTGL/mac, adapt to your paths and compile) then run "./configure" in Gem/src (after running "aclocal" and "autoconf" once!), probably with some paths to point to your FTGL-installation (see "./configure --help") fmg.asdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
