Re: Configure.in can't detect Xft libraries.

[alexandre schenberg]

   I was able to strip it significantly, making it around 3.5 times
   smaller. It is from Pango 1.10. The autoconf is 2.69. Xft is installed
   on: /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xft-2.1.8.2/

   and pango dir is on:
   /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/pango-1.10.0/.



   My latest configure command (trying to pass  Xft through
   PKG_CONFIG_PATH) it is:



   CPPFLAGS="-I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xt-1.0.0/inclu
   de/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.0.0/include/
   -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xproto-7.0.4/include/"
   LDFLAGS="-L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xt-1.0.0/lib/
   -L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.0.0/lib/
   -L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/ICE-1.0.0/lib/"
   ./configure
   --prefix=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pango-1.10.0/
   PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Fontconfig-2.4.
   0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Freetype-2.2.1
   /lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.6.6/lib/
   pkgconfig:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xft-2.1.8.2/lib/
   pkgconfig/


   And "pkg-config --version" returns 0.22

         Hello. I am currently trying to compile pango with support to
     the Xft
         libraries, both being outside the system default search places.
         Unfortunately, pango's configure is unable do detect it, no
     matter
         which way I use to pass it.

     Thanks for the bug report.
     Pango's configure script is very complicated. Could you please try
     to
     cut it down to a short test case? The smallest possible configure.ac
     that still reproduces the phenomenon (of failing to detect Xft).
     Send
     us that, and it'll be much easier for us to experiment with it.
     Since you say that Xft is installed outside the system default
     search
     paths, it would also help to know exactly where it _is_ installed,
     and
     any other details of how your system is set up that seem like they
     might be relevant.
