Have the Atlanta Bread Company and Panera Bread Company merged?

The picture on the left shows Atlanta Bread’s old logo, courtesy of yesterday morning’s bag, which I just fished out of the trash. The one on the right is from this morning’s bag. It’s awfully reminiscent of the Panera Bread Company logo, don’t you think?

I think it’s the font that they’re using, which appears to be the same font that Panera uses. And yet a quick Google search doesn’t turn up anything to indicate that the two companies have merged or anything like that.

I’ve run into a few snags trying to build and run FOX and FXRuby on Mac OS X Leopard, and so I wanted to capture those problems (and the solutions) here.

The first problem occurs at build time. FOX compiles OK, but at link time you may see this error message:

ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib

This is due to an apparent bug in the Xcode Developer Tools version 3.0 (the latest release). The workaround is to modify the setting of the LDFLAGS environment variable to include an additional flag:

LDFLAGS="-dylib_file/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib"

Note that you’ll need to do a make clean and re-configure the build for this change to take affect.

The next problem occurrs at runtime. When you run a sample FOX application, such as adie, you may see a flood of error messages in the console window, along the lines of:

X Error: code 8 major 62 minor 0: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). X Error: code 8 major 62 minor 0: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). X Error: code 8 major 62 minor 0: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). ...

There are also several visual artifacts, such as disabled menu items being drawn incorrectly, that indicate something’s wrong. Fortunately, the Xquartz project is providing more up-to-date builds of the X server. Download their latest pre-built binary of the X server, and copy it over the installed version of Xquartz:

bunzip ~/Downloads/Xquartz-1.3a1.bz2 sudo cp ~/Downloads/Xquartz-1.3a1 /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz

With these changes in place, FOX and FXRuby should work fine.

P.S. Apologies for the formatting glitches; this WordPress theme isn’t particularly conducive to posting code snippets.
