Sorry it's fontconfig 2.7.3, NOT 2.7.2 as stated in the title!

[ryandesign@…]

It works fine universal for me on Snow Leopard.

Does the program /opt/local/bin/freetype-config exist?

If no, rebuild freetype. If yes, could you please attach fontconfig's config.log?

[sawtdk@…]

yes i found the program /opt/local/bin/freetype-config, so i have uploaded config.log, I hope it's the right one...

[ryandesign@…]

Yes it's the right file. I was hoping to see more differences between your file and mine, but I don't; they're essentially the same, up until the point where mine finds freetype-config and yours doesn't.

Does your freetype-config work? What happens if you try to run it, e.g.:

/opt/local/bin/freetype-config --libs

[sawtdk@…]

this is the freetype-config program. The odd thing is that the file is recognized as a document instead of an unix archive

[sawtdk@…]

$ /opt/local/bin/freetype-config --libs
-bash: /opt/local/bin/freetype-config: Permission denied

That's what it says when I run the command

[ryandesign@…]

Aha! So why is permission denied? What are the permissions of that file?

ls -l /opt/local/bin/freetype-config

[sawtdk@…]

$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/freetype-config
-rw-r--r--  2 root  admin  3776 16 Sep 15:31 /opt/local/bin/freetype-config

Ok, so it's not executable, and it needs to be. I can't imagine how that came to pass. Since I don't know what else is wrong in your freetype, I was going to suggest rebuilding it, but your output above shows you just installed it, so I don't know.

If you want to try rebuilding it, you can do so like this:

sudo port -n upgrade --force freetype

If that doesn't fix it, you can make it executable manually:

sudo chmod 755 /opt/local/bin/freetype-config

Is there something unusual about the disk this is installed on? Is it using HFS+ or case-sensitive HFS+ or some other file system? Anything else you can think of that might be unusual about your system?

I can't really think of any unusual things on my computer. I did a clean 10.6 install from 10.5.8 and installed a clean macports. When I build freetype without +universal the freetype is correctly an executable. Now I will try the chmod 755 command...

[sawtdk@…]

I trien the chmod 755 command and then freetype-config was an executable.

Then I tried to install fontconfig and this happened:

Replying to sawtdk@…:

I trien the chmod 755 command and then freetype-config was an executable.

Ok, great. Wish I knew why it wasn't an executable to begin with.

Then I tried to install fontconfig and this happened:

[snip]

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libxml2.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file is not of required architecture
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib, file is not of required architecture

Ok, what architecture are those files? They need to be x86_64 and i386. Are the ports that installed those files built with the universal variant? They need to be.

Ok i reinstalled the whole thing with +universal and when I built freetype it even made freetype-config an executable from the beginning like it should. And fontconfig then installed fine. So everythings cool, thank you for support :D

[ryandesign@…]

Great! Glad to hear it.

[ryandesign@…]

Has duplicates #21461 and #21653 which I'm keeping open for now to investigate further.

[ryandesign@…]

In r58379 I added checks to freetype to make sure zlib has the right arch.

[ryandesign@…]

In r58380 I added a check to fontconfig to ensure each dependency has the right architectures; this should prevent this problem in the future by providing a clear error message explaining what the user must do to fix it.
