The Pango package contains the pango library. This is useful for the layout and rendering of text.
Pango depends on: GLib-2.2.1 and freetype-2.1.3 Pango will utilize: qt-3.1.2, xfree86-4.3.0, gtk-doc-1.0 and xml-dtd-4.2 |
In order for pango to find xft2, the PKG_CONFIG_PATH must include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig. This is a good place to add it if you haven't already. Specific instructions for modifying this variable can be found in the pre-installation instructions for gnome.
Install Pango by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install |
--sysconfdir=/etc : This switch installs the configuration files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.
--enable-gtk-doc : This switch will rebuild the API documentation during the make command.
The pango package contains libpango libraries.
Pango libraries contains low level layout rendering routines, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
