Very strange... does any other font build OK?
I suspect that it may be some utility missing on the host.

There was one other font I tried that had the same trouble (Can't remember it's
name right now). The build system is running Gentoo and it compiles the
Gentoo-equivalent packages fine, so I'm at a loss to understand what's
happening.

I have checked Makefile and I think it may be bdftopcf missing on your host.

Then, we should build bdftopcf for the host, and install it in $(HOST_DIR).

I just tried to manually build the package without any cross compiling
make distclean
./configure

and this is the output I get:
checking for fc-cache... /usr/bin/fc-cache
checking for mkfontdir... /usr/bin/mkfontdir
checking for bdftopcf... /usr/bin/bdftopcf
checking font compression method... gzip
checking for gzip... /bin/gzip
checking for ucs2any... no
checking for MAPS... configure: error: Package requirements (fontutil) were not
met:

No package 'fontutil' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MAPS_CFLAGS
and MAPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


I am sure I tried installing font-utils on the host which I remember didn't
work so I uninstalled it.
I just reinstalled fontutils and now this builds ok so I assume this package
isn't finding the buildroot fontutils.

I checked for bdftopcf on the host and it is there even without fontutils
installed.

How you checked for it?
It should output usage documentation if you just type "bdftopcf -" in terminal.
And if it really is present on your host I have no idea why buildroot fails to
compile fonts...

Anyway, Buildroot should *not* rely on xfont-utils to be installed on the host
distribution, but should rather build it for the host.

That's exactly what I did.

We recently committed things in the Git repo to fix issues with xfonts. Can you
test again and see if your problem is fixed ?

At least here, I can't reproduce.

--- Comment #13 from Paul Jones <paul.jones@iwtech.com.au>  ---
I think I've found the problem - the configure script is cached with the wrong
values - see below:

checking for mkfontdir... (cached) /usr/bin/mkfontdir
checking for bdftopcf... (cached) /usr/bin/bdftopcf
checking font compression method... gzip
checking for gzip... (cached) /bin/gzip
checking for ucs2any... (cached)


The ucs2any program is inserted into the makefile as a blank string therefore
the shell tries to execute the arguments rather than the program, which
obviously won't work.

I can't seem to reproduce any more. I only had the problem on Gentoo systems
but not on Ubuntu. Hopefully the problem is gone so marking as closed.

I know I'm coming late to the party here, but it seems to me from the make
listing that the problem isn't that bdftopcf can't be found, but rather that
the command is missing the name of the command altogether, therefore the shell
is treating the name of the .bdf file as the command to run.

Paul Jones, if the problem occurs again, can you add V=1 to the make line when
you kick off the compile?  That should show us the line being executed, rather
than just "GEN".

Alternatively, please look in output/build/xfont_font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.1 (or
similar, as I don't have it in front of me) for the Makefile.  In the Makefile,
what is the value of the BDFTOPCF variable?
