Pango-1.2.5

Introduction to Pango

The Pango package contains the libpango library. This is useful for the layout and rendering of text.

Installation of Pango

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 configuration section of pkgconfig-0.15.0.

Install Pango by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

--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.
