gtk+-2.8.11 config is missing reference to pangoft2
Last modified: 2015-06-13 07:43:52 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm not sure if this is a gtk bug or a pilot error, but I had difficulties configuring gtk-2.8.11 (this also exists in at least 2.8.7 too); and in particular there appears to be a missing reference to the pangoft2 library. After I installed, cairo-1.0.2, pango-1.10.2, glib-2.8.6, and atk-1.10.3 on a stock FC4 box I attempted to configure gtk-2.8.11, but encountered this failure: ------------ checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -L/usr/local/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure: error: *** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build *** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org ------------ After some poking around I determined that configure failed to include pangoft2. I didn't see any specific gtk-2.8.11 configure options for customizing pango, so I dove write into the gory configure script and changed line 31568 from PANGO_PACKAGES="pango pangocairo" to PANGO_PACKAGES="pango pangocairo pangoft2" Steps to reproduce: 1. Install A fresh FC4 2. download and (attempt to) install gtk+-2.8.11 and friends 3. Actual results: As described above, configure halts Expected results: I'd expect configure to not halt Does this happen every time? This happens every time Other information: My system is an x86-64
Hard to say what went wrong for you with 2.8. From the symptoms it sounds more like a problem with your pango installation. Anyway, please reopen if you experience similar problems with current versions of pango and gtk.
