After much pain I did manage to build Amaya 11.3.1 on Ubuntu 10.10.
Some notes in case someone else needs to do this.
* Use make, not make all.
* Prepare libwww as explained in
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/cvs.html* Configure with ../configure --with-libwww=../../libwww/libwww-config
--enable-system-raptor (thanks to
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/compile-amaya-799758/)
* Apply the fix to gsockgtk.cpp in wxWidgets:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10883* At one point, you'll get an error about a missing WWWSSL.h. I was
able to comment out the #include, and all went ok
* At the very end, I had to add -lraptor to the link command for amaya_bin
That got me ready to experiment with subpixel rendering, but
unfortunately this is harder than just asking FreeType to yield
subpixel-rendered characters. After making the necessary adjustments
in openglfont.c, I realized that UnicodeFontRenderPoly in glglyph.c
renders the fonts into a bitmap that is hard-wired at 8 bit/pixel, and
I didn't have the courage to go further.
Sounds like a good project with someone with time on their hands...
Cheers,
Cay
