Hi

I just tried to build Pango 1.40.14, it fails. The reason for the failure is "help2man" which is installed with "Lsb_release, removing /usr/bin/help2man let pango build. The error is with pango_veiw.

Lsb_release is at the beginning of BLFS Chapter3 so installing of that package gets built early if reading the book. Would it be feesable to not install help2man program?

pango appears to be looking for a different version of help2man. Try editing pango-view/Makefile.in and removing --help-option="--help-all" and --name 'Pango text viewer' which do not seem to be available in the lsb_release version of help2man.

It maybe be easier to remove those options in pango-view/meson.build

Of course you can just remove or rename the help2man script. It would mean you would need to type 'pango-view --help' instead of 'man pango-view'

I have not tested.
