Who knows right way to compile FontForge on the Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit system?

Any experience and suggests will be greatly useful.

Full guide for build and install from source here:

    Can you provide the failure you saw? It probably has useful information.

The following worked for me:

bzr branch lp:fontforge
cd fontforge
./configure
make 
sudo make install

I started it, by typing in the terminal fontforge.

fontforge

  • If you have the "pythonui.c:34:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory" error, try to install python-dev package.
