Description Stian Skjelstad 2005-02-28 17:37:07 UTC

pkg-config --libs fontconfig  does not contain -lexpat. This is not noticed when linking dynamically, but when linking static it is needed.

Comment 1 Stian Skjelstad 2005-02-28 17:41:35 UTC

It lacks -lfreetype aswell on my system

Comment 2 Stian Skjelstad 2005-02-28 17:51:49 UTC

Furter...  pkg-config gtk+-2.0 (x11 target) does not depend on pangoft2, so if you try to link in static, -lpango lacks it's backend.

If you want to compile any gtk+-2.0 program statically now you need do the following currently

`pkg-config gtk+-2.0 pangoft2 --libs` -static -lexpat

(Also... this depends on atk being compiled with static support which is not possible with the current atk ebuild.... I fiddled with it some does ago.. I recall it was atk that was lacking that. It might have been another package, but that is not relevant for these problems)

I added a somewhat crude pkgconfig fix for this to fontconfig-2.3.2-r1 . Thanks for the report.
