Bug 9233 – XFree-4.2.1 Xft2 enhancement

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2002-10-17 03:20:16 UTC]

The xft2 package from fontconfig includes a file called xft.pc that specifies
xft2 for pkgconfig. Compiling xft2 enabled pango (possible gtk) requires this
file to be in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but it is not. I think this file should be
installed from the xfree-4.2.1 ebuild.

Oops, I found out it doesn't install xft2 at all. I'll make an ebuild to that
purpose.

This ebuild overwrites Xft.h though, so maybe it should be part of xfree-4.2.1,
but I first will test whether apps compile with it.

Seems like we keep getting into each others hair :P

Until pango, qt, and anything else which use Xft gets to work with
Xft-2.0 in thier stable tree, Xft-2.0 will have to wait.  Yes, I did
check it out ages ago (see the xfree-4.2.99 ebuild), but currently
nothing in portage builds with Xft-2.0.
