Subject: Fontutils 0.6 won't compile under Linux
extern string dtoa (double);
But the one in stdlib.h is:
extern char* dtoa __P((double __d, int __mode, int __ndigits,
int *__decpt, int *__sign, char **__rve));
Significantly, it's preceded about ten lines up by:
/* I added the followings to Linux. H.J. */
Have you seen this problem before? Any idea of the best way to get by it?
Change the name in fontutils to dtoa.
fontutils 0.6 was released before Linux (not to mention the Alpha and
the current release of most other OS's) existed, so I'm sure there are
plenty of problems.
I suspect it's not all that interesting to most folks, anyway -- the
programs are a chain to produce fonts from scanned images, not general
utilities (despite the name). (Of course, if anyone *wants* to help us
produce fonts for GNU, let me know, and I'll point you at one of the
images I've scanned.)
You can read the manual to decide if you want to bother installing it.
There will be many many changes to the fontutils if I ever make another
release -- it should use kpathsea, for example.
