(John?) This was the trouble i had. AA works in xterm, so theoretically render should load, however qt would not compile, complaining about not being able to find many X rendering extensions functions. I thought that if X was rendering (AA in xterm) then Qt should understand that. It doesnt seem to. When i configure qt i add in the -xft switch to make sure that it tries to add the aa extensions. It borks when it gets to that bit. these are the errors: make uic make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/qt-copy/tools/designer' if [ -d uic ]; then cd uic ; make; fi make[6]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/qt-copy/tools/designer/uic' g++ -L/usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib -o /usr/local/src/qt-copy/bin/uic uic.o ../shared/widgetdatabase.o ../shared/domtool.o ../integration/kdevelop/kdewidgets.o -lqutil -L../lib -lqutil -L../lib -lqt /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Init_FreeType' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Load_Glyph' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Done_Face' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderFreePicture' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Char_Index' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Outline_Translate' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Set_Charmap' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderCompositeString8' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderFillRectangle' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Outline_Transform' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderCompositeString16' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderFindVisualFormat' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderSetPictureClipRegion' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderCreateGlyphSet' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_Set_Char_Size' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderCompositeString32' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderAddGlyphs' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderChangePicture' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderFindFormat' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `FT_New_Face' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderCreatePicture' /usr/local/src/qt-copy/lib/libqt.so: undefined reference to `XRenderFreeGlyphSet' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[6]: *** [/usr/local/src/qt-copy/bin/uic] Error 1 Also, in the log for my Xfree86.0.log it says it loads the freetype module fine, which it didnt do before i recompiled.

> having waay too many problems getting both latest Qt and Xfree86 to work > nicely to give me anti-aliased fonts. > If anyone has more in depth walkthrough than keithp's that would be great. > Im using latest unstable debian. The most recent 4.0.2 packages have the render extension compiled in as an inbuilt module. It's already there for you. The required development stuff that Qt will want to link to is in xlibs-dev. Now, I haven't had the chane to play with it much, but I can't seem to get the inbuilt module to automagically load as others have. In your X startup log (in various places depending on how you start X), you should see lines to the effect of "Inbuilt module RENDER loaded." If not, I can't help you, 'cos I haven't figured that bit out. If so, make the changes to XftConfig on KeithP's page and run: xterm -fa "Trebuchet" You may want to up the font size with -fs. If that works, you should only need to compile Qt, and make sure KDE loads the correct set of libraries. In Gnome I add /usr/local to the GNOME_PATH environment variable.

Heh.. brings back memories... Someone at a company I worked for bought a $60k piece of Winblows software that was supposed to "Solve all our EDI problems".. (Namely.. integrating the 17 different EDI gateways we had).. Well.. It was the biggest white elephant ever in the history of the company. It had all this flashy graphics, and the "virtual office" and all.. and it did sweet F* all else.. It was actually harder to set it up, than to whip out a perl script to do the translations.. Some guy was sucked in by some flashy graphics and a cool salesman.. Very expensive mistake though. Oh yeah.. and Winblows only.. Yeah.. lets run the $160 million dollars worth of EDI business though a scummy Windows NT server..

None, Zip. There was a SCO client at one time in the very very distant past.. but it's out of date, and unsupported.. (and unobtainable). CEA uses the tradelink client to send/recv the EDI packets using DOSEMU and some krafty batch files. However, there is a slightly easier solution.. If you go to an EDI provider called "NEIS", they have a service where they can send/recv the EDI messages you require, for you (Into/From any EDI network including Tradelink), and then convert them to whatever you want, and use FTP to transfer them to and from NEIS. It will cost a bit more than say using Tradelink's software.. but you wont need to go through the shannagins we had to. Heh.. oh yeah.. Tradelink.. I remember getting a bill, where I worked it out that it cost us something along the lines of $6000 to send the contents of 2 floppies intrastate over the period of 3 months. We could have put floppies daily, in Anset air freight express satchels, and still had some spare change. -- Anthony Rumble - Managing Director EverythingLinux.com.au - The Alternative Operating System Store LinuxHelp.com.au - Support,Training,Development,Consulting Phone: 0500 500 368 Direct 02-9712-1799 Fax 02-9712-3977 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
