[Fink-devel] xfree4.3 <-> libpangoxft

[mathias meyer]

masanori and all

this has come up a week ago or so in context of building gtk+2 with 
xfree4.3. i did a fink update all as well (after i updated manually to 
xfree4.3) and of course gtk+2 failed in the configure phase. now i 
looked a little further:

from the pango1-1.0.5-3.info file:

	This version of pango will run both with XFree86 4.2 and 4.3, but only
	build with XFree86 4.2, because XFree86 4.3 does not contain XFT1 
headers.

well, yes but but neither in the configure, make or install phase but 
when building splitoffs. pango simply doesn't build libpangoxft with 
xfree4.3 so trying to move libpangoxft in the splitoff section causes 
fink to fail. what i did:

1.) removed the two lines in the info file that try to move libpangoxft 
to the shlibs package. this makes pango build fine. of course, an 
incomplete pango without the libpangoxft library.

2.) force-remove the existing installed gtk+2 packages. this is 
necessary as gtk+2 will pick the already installed libraries (which 
were built with xft) at linktime when doing a 'fink rebuild gtk+2'. 
this will lead to an undefined symbol error.

3.) rebuild gtk+2. builds gtk+2 without xft.

4.) rebuilt all the packages that were built against pango (until no 
files in /sw/bin and /sw/lib contain libpangoxft)

what do you think of this? proper solution or ugly hack? and how will 
updating be done in the official release?

thanks

mathias
