Hi, I have built pango 1.6.0 successfully without any problem with --prefix=/opt/gnome28 and was now building gtk+ 2.4.13. The ./configure fails with this error : checking Pango flags... -I/opt/gnome28/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6-xorg/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/opt/gnome28/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/gnome28/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/opt/gnome28/lib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -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 Investigating a bit the config.log, here is what appears : configure:29754: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I/opt/gnome28/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6-xorg/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/opt/gnome28/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/gnome28/lib/glib-2.0/include conftest.c -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/opt/gnome28/lib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 >&5 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libpangoft2-1.0.so.0, needed by /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_map_cache_clear' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_map_get_type' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_map_create_context' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_map_shutdown' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_get_type' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_lock_face' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_has_char' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_get_glyph' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_get_unknown_glyph' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_get_raw_extents' /opt/gnome28/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_unlock_face' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So it seems that libpangoxft depends on libpangoft2 but libpangoft2 is not called during link. I got this /opt/gnome28/lib/pkgconfig/pangoxft.pc : prefix=/opt/gnome28 exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=/opt/gnome28/lib includedir=/opt/gnome28/include Name: Pango Xft Description: Xft font support for Pango Version: 1.6.0 Requires: pango Libs: -L${libdir} -lpangoxft-1.0 Cflags: -I${includedir}/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6-xorg/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config One can see that pangoft2 does not appear on the Requires line. If I change the Requires line to something like that : Requires: pango,pangoft2 then gtk+ compiles fine : [...] checking Pango flags... -I/opt/gnome28/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6-xorg/inclu de -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/opt/gnome28/inclu de/glib-2.0 -I/opt/gnome28/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/opt/gn ome28/lib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 - lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 checking ATK flags... -I/opt/gnome28/include/atk-1.0 -I/opt/gnome28/include/glib -2.0 -I/opt/gnome28/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/opt/gnome28/l ib -latk-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 [...] An other means to solve the problem and to have gtk+ compile fine is to export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/gnome28/lib". I don't know if the error comes from the missing reference to pangoft2 in the pangoxft.pc or from the building process of gtk+ but I don't think it is very clean to have to hack the pangoxft.pc by hand to have gtk+ compile fine. I can add that no, there is no 2 versions of pango on my system. Any hints on the reasons of this situation ? Thanks in advance, /mathieu -- _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
