Did you Google the error ? "undefined reference to symbol 'FT_New_Face'"

I'm trying to build aegisub in Ubuntu 11.10. The source is from http://www.aegisub.org/

I googled the error, but didn't find anything that I could understand.

Yes, the binary works, but it doesn't work well. For instance, the menu at the top isn't showing.

I remember that a long time ago I was able to get this to compile but forgot what I did. I remember that when I finally got it working it was better than the binary that's supplied.

The menu is missing. It says things like "File." If you press alt+F, you can still access it and use the arrow keys to move around.

shows the top menu on OpenSUSE 11.4

now Ubuntu 11.10 is using gnome 3 ? right ? -- that might be a problem
the tarbal was last updated in 2010 -- 2 years ago .

now the source
the README and INSTALL state " To be written. " -- not a good sign .

when ./configure finished ( i am using gcc 4.5 ) at the end is a list of just WHAT will be built
-- for default "./configure"

Code:

Misc Packages
  Hunspell:              no  
  universalchardet:      yes

now i am missing a few things
the ffmmpeg IS WRONG it is installed but the current ( was the experimental)

so what is in your configure.log for this
what did it find and not find ?
you might need to pass a lot of things to configure
see:
" ./configure --help "

I made some changes so that instead of gnome 3 I'm using xfce.

Output of ./configure (using gcc 4.6.1)

Posts: 17,624 Rep:	you are missing even more than i was ( i do not intend on using this software so i will not be installing it ) it looks like it is using the deprecated OSS audio not using the current portaudio ( should be the default for ubuntu11 ) not using ALSA also should be a default fall back for ubuntu no Lua or Perl support at this point all i can suggest is try the mailing list http://lists.aegisub.org/mailman/listinfo but the last thing in the archive is from feb 2011 ( a year old) the blog http://blog.aegisub.org/ but the last post was in June 2011 the SVN page http://devel.aegisub.org/wiki/Developer/SubVersion was last modified 2 years ago the project is looking abandoned
