[whitefort]

Binary package hint: tdfsb

Attempting to run the program, it exits with the following error message:

freeglut ERROR: Function <glutStrokeCharacter> called without first calling 'glutInit'.

I found a working solution at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180617

Tested on Ubuntu Dapper using the original 0.0.9 source code from http://www.determinate.net/webdata/data/tdfsb-0.0.9.tar.gz

I have included a very simple patch to fix it. Hopefully this can get repackaged before the Feisty freeze.

Hello,

I'm the author of tdfsb. I just wanted to let you know that there's a
new release of tdfsb (0.0.10) which fixes this and another little bug.

Thanks,
Leander

I can't reproduce your error on Gutsy but the application does nothing for me but a black screen and take control of the mouse. Unfortunately I think it's too late to get 0.0.10 in for Gutsy but it would be nice to get this at least working for Gutsy. Thanks.

OK, sorry to do this but I am rejecting this bug. It was fixed in 0.0.9-1 which was in Feisty. Dapper didn't have 0.0.9. If you want this fixed for Dapper, please request a backport. I will also talk to the Debian maintainer about getting 0.0.10 in for Hardy. Thank you.
