Hello, I'm attempting to get my GTK-based app packaged for delivery to MAC platforms. Everything is going okay except for one last implementation issue. The current solution (not one I'm absolutely committed to, btw): 1) Install GTK+-2 using macports onto build machine. 2) Build the app using directories and libraries as created in 1. 3) Package the app, extracting all necessary libraries from step 1 and placing into an app-specific lib directory 4) Set necessary environment variables to have app find the libraries re-located in step 3 (e.g., DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, plus others). This all works fine when app is installed onto a machine that has only X11 installed, i.e., it's as "naked" as possible where a GTK app is concerned. The problem relates to execution of the app after installation, resulting in the following Pango initiation failure message: Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. PangoFc will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/opt/local/etc/pango/pango.modules' You should create this file by running: pango-querymodules > '/opt/local/etc/pango/pango.modules' A nice helpful message, except that anything and everything I do cannot make it go away. At this point I'm simply trying to identify what exactly constitutes a working install in order to define the necessary steps the installer should take. What I've attempted to get this to work: 1) followed the instructions, creating the undesired directory structure /opt/local/etc/pango... (like i said, just want to get a working example going at this point) 2) executed fc-cache 3) created my own pangorc file, pointing to the pango modules directory that is located in my app-specific lib directory, executing pango-querymodules again to regenerate the pango.modules file. 4) a google-find indicated that a reboot post-install might be in order, so that was also done. To no avail. There are a few strange things going on here that confuse me: 1) google returns little to no information regarding this particular problem, an indication that something very fundamental is going on. 2) I also don't find any advice, in general, re: how Pango should be packaged and configured when wanting to package it completely within an app itself. I made a query about MAC installs a while ago and got back advice to use gtk-osx. I investigated this solution but ulitmately rejected it since I wasn't happy with the drawing results of the Quartz backend, GDK and Cairo are better for my purposes, hence my attempt at installing all necessary libraries/modules/etc. to support an X11 backend solution. But I can't get past this hiccup. Version Info: MACOS: 10.6 GTK+: a very recent version available from macports (not sure the precise version number, no direct access to the install machine at the moment). So my questions: 1) What must I do to at least get the machine configured to have the Pango modules recognized and used properly by my app? 2) More generally, what are the recommendations for packaging and installation tasks necessary to have Pango locally installed specific to the app's installation directory. Any pointers extremely appreciated, whether as advice or links (perhaps my various google search attempts were not creative enough). cheers, richard _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
