[Fink-users] problem building libgdiplus

[Geoff S. <geo...@nr...>]

Hello all,

I sent a note to the developer, but am sort of in a rush, so I am 
posting to the general community as well.

If someone could suggest a quick temporary fix I would be most grateful :)

I am having some difficulty getting libgdiplus built (which actually 
seems to boil down to a gtk-sharp2 question).

Some specifics:

fink : Package manager version: 0.27.9
Distribution version: 0.8.1.cvs powerpc

running under 10.4.11 on a dual G5.

When building libgdiplus it runs into a buildlock error for 
gtk-sharp2.  I tried installing just gtk-sharp2 on its own and found 
that there was a dependency on pango1-xft2-dev, which was not 
installed.  So, I installed pango1-xft2-dev on its own, and that goes 
fine.  The issue is that once I try to install gtk-sharp2 again, it 
removes pango1-xft2-dev and replaces it with pango1-xft2-ft219-dev.

So, what seems to be happening is that fink thinks gtk-sharp2 depends 
on pango1-xft2-dev, but when  gtk-sharp2 starts to build it removes 
that and installs pango1-xft2-ft219-dev.  Seems like a simple config 
file somewhere needs to be fixed, but I'm not sure.  Any ideas?

If anyone would like the actual error messages just let me know and I 
will send them along.

Thanks much in advance!
