Is there an estimated date of release, or goal for one? | "soon" | 2. What is the story with fink package pango1-xft2-ft219-dev and | pango1-xft2-dev ? Why does only the first one provide libpangocairo, | and if the two conflict and replace one another, why does the first | one hide stuff in /sw/lib/pango-ft219/lib ? They're development packages for two vintages of pango1. In accordance with our shared library policy, the development packages should conflict, and the libraries have to be able to coexist, so pango1-xft2-ft219-shlibs installs its libraries in /sw/lib/pango-ft219/lib. The -dev package probably installs there so that there's a common root directory for the headers and the libraries. | | 3. I've used PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pango-ft219/lib/pkgconfig:$ | {PKG_CONFIG_PATH} to get coot's configure to find pangocairo.pc, | which it then does. Later in the compilation, libtool tries to find | all the associated libtool files (libpangocairo-1.0.la, | libpango-1.0.la and so forth) in /sw/lib and fails. Similarly, it | starts looking for pangocairo.pc and pango.pc in /sw/lib and fails. I | made symbolic links as a work-around, but obviously that isn't a | viable solution. So my questions are: | | a) Is pango1-xft2-ft219-dev obsolete and/or depreciated in favor of | pango1-xft2-dev ? If so, what should I tell the author of coot to do | about this? Which one should we be aiming to use a year from now? | It's the other way around. The "ft219" means that it uses "freetype219", which corresponds to newer versions of freetype2. | b) How do I force libtool to do the right thing? | | | For what it is worth, coot has about 150 dependencies, which apart | from the above, all seem to work well enough to enable it to compile. | | Thanks. | | Bill Scott | | |
