This is in reply to the original message from September 2004, while trying to compile gtk 2.6 or 2.4 it looks like I ran into the same problem. When I looked at the -l flags passed to gcc by configure I noticed that pangoft2 was not being linked in, and pangoft2 is the library that would resolve the references gcc wasn't able to resolve. I don't know why this seems to have only happened to a few of us, I'm running debian woody with a binary install of XFree86 4.4 installed in place of woody's XFree86. Perhaps this, or other libraries with multiple versions on the computer brought this about? In any case, telling the compiler to always link in pangoft2 is a way to hack this build problem away. pangoft2 depends on symbols in other libraries, so I just added all that might be needed to CFLAGS before configuring gtk and all is well. gtk 2.6.6 configures and builds fine, I also tested that gtk 2.4.9 at the least configures fine. My relevant CFLAGS (for bash): export CFLAGS="-lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0" -- Chris Frost | <http://www.frostnet.net/chris/> -------------+---------------------------------- Public PGP Key: Email chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx with the subject "retrieve pgp key" or visit <http://www.frostnet.net/chris/about/pgp_key.phtml> _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
