Hi, I want to build X windows, Gpe Package, GTK2.X for my arm processor. Now, I downloaded the following from freedesktop. Randr Render XExtensions FixesExt DamageExt Xproto xtrans Xfont Xau CompositeExt ResourceExt RecordExt Xdmcp XCalibrateExt X11 Xext XRender XServer. The compilation was succesful and i got Xserver. I compiled pango: configuration: backends: X Now, i wanted to compile GTK. Whenever i compile GTK. i got an error. checking for freetype-config... configure: error: Xft Pango backend is required for x11 target So, i compiled Xft 2.1.2 I got the error : creating libtool checking for xrender >= 0.8.2... yes checking XRENDER_CFLAGS... -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -I/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/include checking XRENDER_LIBS... -L/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/lib -lXrender checking for freetype-config... freetype-config checking for fontconfig >= 1.0.1... Package fontconfig was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fontconfig.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'fontconfig' found configure: error: Library requirements (fontconfig >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. So, i thought i want fontconfig: When i compiled fontconfig: I get the error: --------- /usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin/arm-linux-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -DFONTCONFIG_PATH=\"/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/etc/fonts\" -I.. -I../src -I/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/include -I/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/arm-linux/include -MT fcatomic.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/fcatomic.Tpo -c fcatomic.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/fcatomic.o In file included from fcint.h:39, from fcatomic.c:50: ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:27:22: ft2build.h: No such file or directory ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:28:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> In file included from fcint.h:39, from fcatomic.c:50: ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:33: error: parse error before "FcFreeTypeCharIndex" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:33: error: parse error before "face" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:33: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `FcFreeTypeCharIndex' ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:33: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:33: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:36: error: parse error before "face" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:36: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:39: error: parse error before "face" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:39: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:42: error: parse error before "FT_Face" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:42: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:45: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `FT_Face' ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:45: error: parse error before "f" ../fontconfig/fcfreetype.h:45: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype In file included from fcatomic.c:50: fcint.h:596: error: parse error before "encoding" fcint.h:596: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype make[2]: *** [fcatomic.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/gtk/dependencies/fontconfig-2.3.2/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/gtk/dependencies/fontconfig-2.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 ----------- Please tell me what i should do ?. i am in total frustation. I dont know from where this ft2build.h. i have one ft2build.h but it is in /usr/include. i dont want that header file. i am cross compiling and need to install that package. >From where should i get the sources and i want to put it in a particular arm directory which contains only arm headers. Please also let me know if i need any more packages and from where i should get it. Please do advice and let me know if i am in the wrong track. Any help is appreciated. Regards, John
