[Otk-usage] trying to compile libotk.a

[David B. <db...@ya...>]

Hi,
  I'm not the best programmer in the world, but I am trying to create a
libotk.a file for use with a non-C compiler.

  Anyway, I can compile lib_otk.c in to otk.o and I can put that in the
lib and use the result. But when I try to compile the gadget_lib.c file,
it fails.

  First because it needs to see otk_lib.h. So I add that.
  But then it fails because Otk_DZ is not declared in Otk_SetGauge2.
Sure enough, I can't find any declaration for that. 

  What really puzzles me though, is that the test suite, which includes
gadget_lib.c, does compile.  What am I missing?

  And how do I create a libotk.a library? 

Thanks,
David

[Otk-usage] SVG fonts

[Laurent P. <lau...@fr...>]

Hello all,

I tried to send an email to the author at those addresses :

<car...@ya...>
<car...@ya...>
<kin...@us...>

but unfortunately got no response.

Does anybody know how to use SVG fonts in OTK ?

Otk_Read_SVG_Font function prototype is defined in otk_lib.h but this
function isn't written elsewhere.

Thanks.


Laurent.

[Otk-usage] setting up the environment

Is there an IRC channel for OTK?

I'm just getting started with playing with OTK.  I haven't gotten far! 
heh.  First, figuring out how and what to install for MinGW under WinXP
is confusing.  What I ended up doing is installing "MinGW Developer
Studio" from http://www.parinyasoft.com/  I can compile the sample
programs, and I can run gcc from the command prompt.  So, that seems to
be taken care of.

Next, I downloaded "otk_lib_v0.40.zip" and tried to compile it with "gcc
-c otk_lib.c -o otk.o" and got the following error messages:

In file included from otk_lib.c:150:
letter2vector2.c:907: error: syntax error before "uint"
letter2vector2.c: In function `otk_memspool':
letter2vector2.c:911: error: `spool' undeclared (first use in this function)
letter2vector2.c:911: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
letter2vector2.c:911: error: for each function it appears in.)
letter2vector2.c:911: error: `len' undeclared (first use in this function)
letter2vector2.c:913: error: `n' undeclared (first use in this function)
letter2vector2.c:920: error: `data' undeclared (first use in this function)

I did see this in the "otk_lib.c" file:

/* To Compile on Microsoft:                                */
/*  Set microsoft=1 (below), and GlutEnabled=1, and compile as console
application.    */
/*  (See Microsoft Visual-C.)                                */

But, I'm not sure where to set those options.

I guess Glut is another issue.  (I was told that it might not be needed
anymore. ?? )

Anyone?
