[GEM-dev] compiling Gem on OSX 10.4 w/ FTGL from fink

Fri Jun 1 01:45:26 CEST 2007

On Mac OS X, FTGL is built with Xcode, so that doesn't generate ftgl- 
config.  If it was built using ./configure && make, it would do it.   
That should be too hard, but I won't have time to do it anytime soon.

As for the static lib, that's how FTGL is generally built, and that's  
what Gem expects.  The Debian package, for example, only provides the  
static lib for FTGL.
