Failure to compile

[Conner Phillips]

Hi,

I have done some compiling, but when things go wrong I am not so sure
what to do, especially with big programs and dependencies.

I'm running up to date Arch Linux and trying to compile from HEAD on
github. I get the following errors

/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined reference to
`hb_font_funcs_set_nominal_glyph_func'
/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined reference to
`hb_buffer_set_cluster_level'
/usr/lib/libraqm.so.0: undefined reference to `hb_ft_font_set_load_flags'
/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined reference to
`hb_font_funcs_set_variation_glyph_func'

I'm guessing hb refers to harfbuzz? I have this installed but am
confused as what is going on here. Could anyone help? Thanks.

You can just clone the official source from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs.git

Getting freetype + harfbuff is messy. Here is what I have from my notes.. I
need to install all libs in my $HOME as a non-root user on my machine..

1 freetype + harfbuzz :pango:ghostscript:
=====================

The RHEL6 default freetype version was older than 2.4.2 (the min
required version of freetype to install ghostscript). It was
preinstalled on the system.

/freetype - last downloaded version -- 2.6/ /harfbuzz - last
downloaded version -- 1.0.3/

[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75652]

freetype depends on harfbuzz and vice versa. To solve this chicken and
egg problem, do this.

1. First install freetype *without harfbuzz*
,----
| make distclean
| ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --without-harfbuzz
| make
| make install
`----
2. Then install harfbuzz
,----
| make distclean
| ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
| make
| make install
`----
3. Reinstall freetype *with harfbuzz*
,----
| make distclean
| ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
| make
| make install
`----

Are you building with Cairo? If so, try disabling Cairo at configure
time.

Off-topic: you might want to give Guix (the package manager, not GuixSD
the OS) a go. It can work as an auxiliary package manager and you can
download it in its binary form and just run:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/. No root privileges needed.

AFAIK Nix can do the same thing too but I haven't tried.

I have read about it, but I don't have guile on my system. Last time I
tried, I wasn't able to install guile because I couldn't install certain
dependencies locally.

checking for libltdl... no
configure: error: GNU libltdl (Libtool) not found

Ironically, this page[1] suggests installing Guile using Guix (chicken/egg).

Turns out Anaconda was at the front of my path and stealing calls that
should have been going to system libraries. Dropped Anaconda to the end
of my path and it is all settled now.
