and there is the file INSTALL which you should have read:
3. We require PangoFT2, a Pango backend that uses FreeType2. Make
sure you have FreeType2 installed before you compile Pango.
if you had freetype2 installed, PangoFT2 would probably have been built
and installed.

no, we don't want and can't care about your problems compiling glib.
You should file a bug-report against glib instead.
BTW. Sun's make is really akward and I don't see why you are putting
extra pain on you and other people by refusing to install GNU
make. It's a well known fact that a whole bunch of GNU software
requires GNU make and that it definitely makes your life easier to
install and use it.

this is a stupid problem with pkg-config that tries some hardcoded
fallbacks if it can't find the .pc file it should look for. I don't
like this fact either but Havoc seems to think that it is a good idea.

they are required but you may choose to switch this requirement off
and build without them. You will end up with an image manipulation
program that doesn't support the most important image formats.

GTK+ depends on png, jpg, and tiff just as GIMP depends on them. This
is a good choice since application developers can then be sure that
the functionality to load these image file formats is available. You
should only switch these dependencies off (by using the --without-foo
configure options) if you are building GTK+ for a special target like
an embedded device where you know exactly what software will be using
GTK+ later.

I will end this mail with the statement I started it with:
and there is the file INSTALL which you should have read:
3. We require PangoFT2, a Pango backend that uses FreeType2. Make
sure you have FreeType2 installed before you compile Pango.
if you had freetype2 installed, PangoFT2 would probably have been built
and installed.
