[openi18n-im:01205] Re: Iterm source

Hallo.
I tested the iterm source code these days.
I found some problem.

On the Debian machine, the fbiterm src compiles correctly.
But on my Gentoo machine. the source of "fbiterm" encountered some problem:

Bug1:
  the ./configure will abort when checks the "libXfont" path. the reason is:
    libXfont.[a,so]   in Gentoo   /usr/lib/
                              in Debian   /usr/X11R6/lib
  ==> just append options  "./configure --x-libraries=/usr/lib"
Bug2:
  when compiling. Gentoo will encounter some message like:  
    /usr/lib//libXfont.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_PS_Font_Info'
    /usr/lib//libXfont.so: undefined reference to `FT_Init_FreeType'
    /usr/lib//libXfont.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Sfnt_Name'
    /usr/lib//libXfont.so: undefined reference to `FT_Load_Glyph'
    ...
  Further I test the libXfont.so's symbol table via 'nm -a 
/usr/lib/libXfont.so' .
  Many "FT_???" in /usr/lib/libXfont.so are really undefined.
  So it's not the problem of "fbiterm" but is the problem of libXfont.
  
  I compare the main difference of the two machine.
  The most difference is  my Gentoo--> Xorg  & the Debian -->XFree
  I am not sure whether this is the cause, so I rebuild the xorg-x11
again to recheck.
   But the problem is also there.
   ==> Finally I copy the /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a from the Debian
into my library directory, and it did solve the problem.
        libXfont.a is not big( 925k ) , maybe we can attach it to the tarball.
        So that it still compile when there is no proper libXfont.a in
user's system.
