Hi Uwe,
Unfortunately although we were given the go-ahead to open source Open
Inventor we could not bundle libFL (the font library) at the same time.
Every component needs to be examined on a case by case basis -- on IRIX
libFL ships by default as a part of the gfx eoe. With any luck we will
eventually manage to get this open sourced. In the meanwhile, there's
nothing stopping you from either creating the stubs that libFL needs or
replacing it's functionality with something like freetype
(www.freetype.org) which is what I think should be done (looking for
something to contribue? insert your code here -- I guarantee it will get
checked into the tree :)
That being said, let me poke around to see if there are any HP-UX
machines around here. If so then we can probably get a .a for you in the
interim (this is what we did for linux-i386.)
Until then, you can remove SoText2.o, SoText3.o and SoAsciiText.o from
the link line for libInventor.so and you should be ok.
A+,
Alexandre.
