Been working against the BLFS Version 2020-09-03, so Pango 1.46.0 but BLFS Version 2021-01-01 with Pango 1.48.0 has the same text.
I read, Pango Dependencies Required Fontconfig-2.13.1 (must be built with FreeType-2.10.4 using HarfBuzz-2.7.4), FriBidi-1.0.9, and GLib-2.66.4 Recommended Cairo-1.17.2+f93fc72c03e, gobject-introspection-1.66.1 (Required if building GNOME), and Xorg Libraries Optional Cantarell fonts (for tests), GTK-Doc-1.33.1, help2man, and libthai and whilst, later on, I read about these build switches I might be able to use Command Explanations -Denable-docs: Use this switch if gtk-doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation. -Dgir=false: Use this switch if you do not want to use gobject-introspection-1.66.1. however, although I'm not intending to build GNOME, it seems that Pango's lovely meson build system (Meson BS?) seems more than capable of "determining" that I do want to really, and so tells me that cairo is a run-time depenedency, and so it's not going any further. How do I tell Pango that I don't want to build it with cairo ? I tried, well you would, wouldn't you: -Dcairo=false but no joy there. The NEWS file in the source tarball suggests that, once upon a time, there may have been a --with-cairo switch in the build system but, presumably something that obvious didn't make it out of Autotools-land when the python fan-boys took control? Any clues? I'm sure i can install Cairo, but the BLFS Book's suggestion that it should not be needed got my hopes up !
