So I was attempting to build Pango 1.32.6 today. And was hitting an error because it said it could not find any cairo font backends.
I had just successfully built cairo with FreeType and Fontconfig, and verified by hand pkg-config could see them so I did a bit more digging. I dug into the configure script that ships with Pango 1.32.6 and tried to unravel where it was getting off the rails. Long story short, I traced it down to one problem. I didn't have harfbuzz, so it never looked for my fontconfig, and subsequent freetype. So is fontconfig dependant on harfbuzz? Here are the related couple of the lines from the configure script. # # Check for fontconfig # have_fontconfig=false if $have_harfbuzz ; then So it does not check for fontconfig if have_harfbuzz is not true. It looks like it is pretty dependant on it. Should configure probably error out a bit harder when Harfbuzz fails,
