How fix src/free_glyph.c:9:60: error: ‘FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘FT_RENDER_MODE_MAX’?

How fix it error?

Is this define from the FreeType library? Maybe you have a very old version of FreeType?

@BillKek how check?

I am having this same issue. I have installed the latest version of FreeType and all other dependancies, but I am getting this error:

src/free_glyph.c:9:60: error: ‘FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘FT_RENDER_MODE_MAX’?
    9 |     FT_Int32 load_flags = FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_TARGET_(FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF);
      |                                                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am also getting this:

/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:3135:47: note: in definition of macro ‘FT_LOAD_TARGET_’
 3135 | #define FT_LOAD_TARGET_( x )   ( (FT_Int32)( (x) & 15 ) << 16 )
      |                                               ^

      |

I think this project looks really promising, and I hope the error is resolved soon, as I am looking forward to trying it out.

ChatGPT solution that actually worked:

replace line 9 in src/free_glyph.c:
FT_Int32 load_flags = FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_TARGET_(FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF);
with:
FT_Int32 load_flags = FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_TARGET_(FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL);
