So I’m trying to build mkhexgrid.



– I had to configure and build this inside a X11 session!
-I/Users/alex/Source/boost_1_35_0 to CPPFLAGS in the Makefile
The X11 dependency was surprising. I assume there’s a better way to do it, but I don’t know what it is. The error I got without X11:
Pyrobombus:~/Source/gd-2.0.36RC1 alex$ gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libpng12 -g -O2 -MT gdft.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/gdft.Tpo -c gdft.c -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/gdft.o gdft.c:1405:35: error: fontconfig/fontconfig.h: No such file or directory gdft.c:1468: error: parse error before '*' token gdft.c:1468: error: parse error before '*' token
I also noticed that SVG output required px units, which is not true. I submitted the following patch to version 0.1.1:
diff -c /Users/alex/Source/mkhexgrid-0.1.1/grid.cpp\~ /Users/alex/Source/mkhexgrid-0.1.1/grid.cpp

break;

I just used copy & paste to use the same code that was available for PS output.
And finally this is the specfile I used for my map:
output=svg outfile=hex-layer.svg hex-side=1in rows=8 columns=5 grid-color=B3B3FF coord-color=B3B3FF coord-size=10pt coord-distance=0.7in coord-column-start=21 coord-row-start=11
Yay!!
