Forced Pango to build *with* introspection, gets funkier:

One --disable-introspection later it installed fine.

On the other hand it might be the right time to start introducing USE flags around… probably masked at first would be the best idea…

Well, even if it worked and generated the .gir properly, it would end up colliding with gir-repository[gtk] :S

[Comment 4 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) 2010-03-01 15:59:41 UTC]

And we cannot disable Gtk-2.0.gir generation in gir-repository because it'll break generation of Notify-0.4.gir, gtksourceview, etc.

Looks like I'll have to do major surgery on gir-repository.

Hmm.. my bad, when I tested the ebuild, introspection didn't get enabled because we still had 0.6.5.

I also fixed similar problem with dev-libs/atk.

Closing per previous comment, thanks plaes!
