Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2002-12-04 10:06:14 UTC
mozilla configure says:
checking for xft... Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xft.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xft' found

configure: error: Library requirements (xft) not met; consider adjusting the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard
prefix so pkg-config can find them.
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-04 13:20:48 UTC
cvs update and try again .. just check that its:

  mozilla-1.2.ebuild,v 1.6 2002/12/04
Comment 2 Dave Nellans 2002-12-04 18:42:46 UTC
you have gtk2 enabled in your USE without xft being installed (all versions are
masked as well) which is causing this error.  if you change gtk2 to -gtk2 then
the ebuild will build the Xft support it needs statically and your error will
disappear.
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-04 22:02:48 UTC
Not 100%, no.  It checked if xft or pango-1.1 was installed.  Guess he
had pango-1.1, but not Xft.
Comment 4 Mark 2002-12-05 01:10:21 UTC
Confirmed for mozilla 1.2.1

Aren't both pango 1.1 and xft masked? So what is the legal way to do it? I get
the same xft-error.
Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 03:53:39 UTC
Confirmed for 1.2.1 ?  

This is from the 1.2.1 ebuild.  If "gtk2" is in USE, it do
not enable if pkg-config do not detect Xft2.0.  If "gtk2"
is NOT in USE, then we compile and install our own.

-------------------------------------------------
        if [ -n "`use gtk2`" ]
        then 
            # Only enable Xft if we have Xft2.0 installed ...
            if pkg-config xft 2> /dev/null
            then
                einfo "Building with Xft2.0 support!"
                myconf="${myconf} --enable-xft"
            else
                myconf="${myconf} --disable-xft"
            fi
        else
            einfo "Building with Xft2.0 support!"
            myconf="${myconf} --enable-xft"
        fi
------------------------------------------------------
Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 03:56:37 UTC
> Confirmed for mozilla 1.2.1

If you cp'd the 1.2 ebuild over to 1.2.1, its possible.  If you used the 1.2.1
I commited, Its been fixed (except maybe in some wierd instance if you say
dont have pkg-config installed .. but that is a DEPEND and NOT masked ... )

> Aren't both pango 1.1 and xft masked? So what is the legal way to do it? I get
> the same xft-error.

Yes, that is why I used pkg-config to detect their presence, and did NOT put
them in DEPEND.  If pkg-config did not detect them, it disables Xft ...
Comment 7 Mark 2002-12-05 04:13:00 UTC
Azarah,

I use your mozilla ebuild. pkg-config is installed. gtk2 is in my useflags. When
I emerge mozilla 1.2.1, I get exactly the same error as described in comment #1.
pkg-config xft doesn't yield any form of output.
Comment 8 Mark 2002-12-05 04:14:08 UTC
..sorry, in stead of comment #1 I ment the original error created with this bug.

Anything more I need to say ?
Comment 10 Mark 2002-12-05 04:29:31 UTC
Not untill my re-emerge of mozilla 1.2.1 is complete ;)
Comment 11 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 04:44:34 UTC
What I meant, was that pkg-config should fail if xft is not installed, disabling
xft support because of that if statement ....

Hanno, where are you ?  You cant file a bug and expect if to be resolved if
you do not give feedback.

Comment 12 Mark 2002-12-05 04:51:19 UTC
Azarah, after a bit pondering, ofcourse the syntax of this if-statement is
incorrect.
"if pkg-config xft 2> /dev/null" will always be 1 unless pkg-config errors out.
In another way, this means "If pkg-config xft exits without an error code". Not
whether or not xft is actually installed.

Mark
Comment 13 Mark 2002-12-05 04:55:48 UTC
if pkg-config xft 2> /dev/null could be replaced by:

if [ "`pkg-config xft && echo yes`" == "yes" ]
Comment 14 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 05:02:05 UTC
So does it in its current form fail for you ?  It works fine on my Xft2 enabled
AND my other box that do not have Xft2 installed ...
Comment 15 Mark 2002-12-05 05:03:43 UTC
It failed before I issued `ebuild /usr/portage/x11-libs/xft/xft-2.0-r1.ebuild
merge': it acted like xft was installed. Maybe it worked for you because you had
the file "xft.pc" somewhere. I hadn't such a file thus the emerge failed.
Comment 16 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 05:37:04 UTC
No, you do not understand ... look at the following bit if "gtk2" in USE ...

--------------------------------
   # Only enable Xft if we have Xft2.0 installed ...
       if pkg-config xft 2> /dev/null
       then
           einfo "Building with Xft2.0 support!"
           myconf="${myconf} --enable-xft"
       else
           myconf="${myconf} --disable-xft"
   fi
--------------------------------

Basicaly, 'pkg-config xft' will return true if Xft2.0 is installed.
Thus, if 'pkg-config xft' returns 0, then pass '--enable-xft' to
./configure, else if 'pkg-config xft' returns 1 (fail), pass
'--disable-xft' to ./configure

So, if you have Xft2 present in your system, build mozilla with
Xft support, else disable it.  And it does work fine here like that ....
Comment 17 Mark 2002-12-05 05:45:31 UTC
Ok, then I was wrong with comment #12 and #13. I am out of options, but I merged
xft now and am compiling mozilla. What fronzes my eyebrows are that my mozilla
ebuild wanted to merge with Xft-support no matter what the if-statement returns.
Comment 18 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 05:50:51 UTC
Not here .. notice it does not print the Xft stuff, and it do not
fail on configure.

Comment 19 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 06:13:57 UTC
The 1.2.1 ebuild currently has a wrong digest.
The problem is not on my pc, but on the pc of a friend. He now disabled gtk2.

Output of mozilla-merge

This is the output of an `emerge mozilla'. gtk and gtk2 are both in my
make.conf (does that make the difference?) and xft is unmerged. Notice the
configure-process errors out.
When I put -gtk2 in my useflags, mozilla will build again.
Comment 22 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 08:17:21 UTC
Ok, fixed the digest, and tweaked the detection code a bit.  Still test fine
this side, just check that you have:

  mozilla-1.2.1.ebuild,v 1.2 2002/12/05 14:16:44

and let me know.

It has no trouble compiling anymore. Did you change anything?

For as far as I'm concerned this bug may be closed. Let's wait for Hanno's input
though. Thanks for the help, Azarah :)

------------------------

You still had 'gtk2' in USE, and x11-libs/xft NOT installed ?
Comment 26 Mark 2002-12-05 11:38:37 UTC
Indeed, and that works perfectly now :) It's not compiled yet but as soon as it
has I'll tell you the results. Great work so far :)
Comment 27 Mark 2002-12-05 12:29:26 UTC
Ok Azarah, it's compiled without a problem. Just one minor question: does gtk2
stop antialiasing for fonts? Nothing is antialiased anymore. (I'm not fully
updated on Xft and freetype and so)
Comment 28 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-05 12:30:10 UTC
Question if I may ... why do you compile with gtk2 ?  For galeon-cvs ?  And
why if for galeon-cvs ?

Why I ask, is because without 'gtk2', mozilla will do AA with Xft2.0 which
is really nice, and if you merge galeon-1.2.7 against it, its a real stable
combination with pages rendered AA as well :)  See:

Ok, was a commit collide there.

Well, problem with 1.2, is that for AA fonts, you need Xft2.0.  Thus, if you
do not have 'gtk2' in USE, the moz ebuild build and install it in
/usr/lib/mozilla.  If 'gtk2' is in USE, we cannot build with Xft2.0 support
if you do not have pango-1.1, as it then links to Xft1.1 *and* Xft2.0 and
cause it to segfault (reminds me now why I had the pango check).

Ah, explains the segfault ;)

Well it was basically just to see the differences as I use the browser mozilla,
no galeon or whatever (fluxbox all the way ;). I have to say there are some nice
things in Mozilla+gtk2 but these are minor things. I had random crashes too and
lockups when I compiled it against gtk, I want to see if gtk2 will prevent this.
Anyway, it's good these small bug-kinda-things are found, better now than when
mozilla+gtk2 would be a standard.

Ok, added the pango check back again:

-------------------------------
    if [ -n "`use gtk2`" ]
    then
        local pango_version=""
    
        # We need Xft2.0 localy installed
        if (test -x /usr/bin/pkg-config) && (pkg-config xft)
        then
            pango_version="`pkg-config --modversion pango | cut -d. -f1,2`"
            pango_version="`echo ${pango_version} | sed -e 's:\.::g'`"

            # We also need pango-1.1, else Mozilla links to both
            # Xft1.1 *and* Xft2.0, and segfault...
            if [ "${pango_version}" -gt "10" ]
            then
                einfo "Building with Xft2.0 support!"
                myconf="${myconf} --enable-xft"
            else
                ewarn "Building without Xft2.0 support!"
                myconf="${myconf} --disable-xft"
            fi
        else
            ewarn "Building without Xft2.0 support!"
            myconf="${myconf} --disable-xft"
        fi
    else
        einfo "Building with Xft2.0 support!"
        myconf="${myconf} --enable-xft"
    fi
-----------------------------------

This should be fixed now.
