[PD] no text support in gem under OSX

[maciej wojnicki]

hello list

I have a problem with this message:
Gem has been compiled without font support.
that I recieve when trying to use text3d object

I know that thishave been discussed before on this list and the end point was 
tha implementation of thex under OSX is not finished.
I`d like to know if there is any version of gem available with text 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.

I need this text badly, please help!

Thanks in advance.

maciej.

My copy of 0.39-extended-test4 seems to do [text3d] and other 
font-related stuff just fine.


best,

i don't know know where you have heard this, but it is definitely wrong.

see http://gem.iem.at
all "official" versions of Gem come with text support (afaik)

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")
