cannot find -lfreetype??

[booster666]

Hello,
I am creating a new version of Pong 2,
But when i 'make' the project (ALT + 1)
In the output i get:

Code: Select all

> "make" 
linking ... pong2.elf
h:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.4/../../../../powerpc-gekko/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lfreetype
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/h/DevkitproProjects/first/pong2/pong2.elf] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

> Process Exit Code: 2
> Time Taken: 00:00

What do i need to do??
Thanks

Did you downloaded the GC/Wii FreeType library build and put the headers and lib in the libogc folder like it specifies? If you didn't put it there, is the lib path specified in your make file?

I installed it in the libogc folder, but now i get this error.

Code: Select all

linking ... pong2.elf
h:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.4/../../../../powerpc-gekko/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lmxml
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The "cannot find -l<something>" error means it can't find the <something> library. In this case it means it can't find the mxml library. Try looking here http://code.google.com/p/wiichat/.

The "cannot find -l<something>" error means it can't find the <something> library. In this case it means it can't find the mxml library. Try looking here http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Development_Tools.

I have installed mxml libary but i think i am missing this file:libmxml.a

edit: don't link to banned sites

This i got:H:\devkitPro\libogc\include\mxml.h
This i dont have:H:\devkitPro\libogc\lib\wii\libmxml.a

libmxml.a isnt enywhere on my PC or in the mxml-2.5.tar.gz

ld is the linker, the linker has nothing to do with .h files. The .a file is what the linker wants. It must be named lib<whatever the linker is looking for>.a and it must be in the paths the linker searches as defined in the make file. http://wiichat.googlecode.com/files/mxml-wii.tgz includes the .a file in mxml-wii/mxml/lib.

Happy coding -- Jerry
