Was reading through the BLFS entries for Cairo and Pango. Cairo
mentions glib as a required library. Pango mentions fontconfig,
freetype and harfbuzz as required libraries. I currently have a build
of cairo without glib on one of my systems. Cairo is a prerequisite
for webkitfltk and fifth. I was unable to get pango to build without
glib. If it is not required, I'd very much appreciate hearing what
configure switches were used to avoid it.
According to my notes from previous builds (and I'm not noticing any
changes as I try to rebuild the packages now), cairo does not require
glib. I have zlib, png, freetype and pixman as the dependencies for
my build of cairo. Pango wouldn't build (at least not without glib)
and at the time, I didn't pursue the issue any further since I didn't
require pango for anything important.
It seems to me that this message points a defect in the book:
In the chain of required deps:
- pango does not have glib (it is only recommended for harfbuzz), while
it seems to be required according to the message above.
- cairo has glib, while it is not required.
So, maybe after some verification:
- glib should be made "required" for pango
- glib should be moved to "recommended" for cairo.
Agreed. Perhaps, with a comment to summarize Bruce's comment, about the
importance of glib for graphical environments (in cairo).
If you and Bruce agree, please, go ahead.
Thanks, Laura.
