Installing Fontcrunch

Christoph Koeberlin

Hi,
I’m trying to install Fontcrunch, but it doesn’t work (error log attached) …
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

I got it to compile after installing the (old?) gcc-4.2. If you have homebrew installed (http://brew.sh), you can run brew install apple-gcc42 and then try again.

Thanks, Jack!

Hi Christoph,

I still think the different compilers may be the problem. I tried it on my 10.9 machine with XCode 6.2 installed, where "cc" (Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)) is used as compiler and it works without problem.

I have copied the compiled files into the attached zip archive, I think they should run on your system. The egg folder goes into site-packages, and the font-crunch.py script into /usr/local/bin. Probably you also need to add a line to the easy-install.pth file in your site-packages folder, as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks, Jenser! :-*
