Description Thomas Sachau gentoo-dev 2008-09-20 23:18:57 UTC 
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?
Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2008-09-20 23:54:09 UTC 
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)

Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-15 13:51:48 UTC 
Would be nice to add a built_with_use check since it's a bit difficult to understand what the message is asking..
Comment 4 Tom Himanen 2009-03-28 09:37:13 UTC 
That's right. The error message isn't too clear.
Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-14 20:37:20 UTC 
metacity-2.26 now checks for this. Thanks for reporting.
