Description Thomas Sachau gentoo-dev

x11-wm/metacity-2.22.0 configure fails with the message "configure: error: "Pango 1.2.0 or greater based on Xft2 is required"", if pango is not compiled with X use flag. leio has a TODO on his list to investigate, why metacity needs pango with Xft2 support, but until he gets there, maybe a built_with_use X is a temporary solution?

Also USE defaulting X enabled in pango might be a good idea until only legacy apps use libpangox (the xft2 specific bits that are kind-of deprecated in favour of generic API and pangocairo)

Would be nice to add a built_with_use check since it's a bit difficult to understand what the message is asking..

That's right. The error message isn't too clear.

metacity-2.26 now checks for this. Thanks for reporting.
