No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org
It doesn't exist- by default at least- on the Debian systems I've got
here, so I've got little to compare the Solaris GTK setup with.
When you have installed fontconfig you'll have the fc-list command that
lists the fonts available.
On my system I have fonts in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts with links from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts. Check in
/etc/fonts/font.conf if the correct dir is specified. I don't have the
fontconfig command neither.
fc-list run as myself (i.e. non-root) returns nothing. Run as root it
returns a list of fonts. Run as root with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
returns nothing. Think I've got a problem here...
The situation appears to be that there are two distinct fontconfig
systems, e.g.
/usr/bin/fc-list
/etc/fonts.conf
and
/usr/local/bin/fc-list
/usr/local/etc/fonts.conf
I can't simply do a hack like symlinking the two fonts.conf files
together, something's incompatible at a lower layer.
I'm going to check that make bigide works, but apart from that I think
it needs the involvement of somebody with more SPARC/Solaris experience
than I've got, e.g. whoever was asking about the availability of a port
on StackOverflow a few months ago.
It's not so much that I can't afford to put much more time into this
one, but that to have something manageable it needs to be predictable,
i.e. while installing a sequence of SFW packages is OK in principle it's
not going to benefit Lazarus if that breaks things, or if the result
still needs an indeterminate amount of tweaking before it works.
One positive thing that I can report is that lazbuild --help returns
sensible output, even using the default (GNU?) linker.
