#190 Building PLplot with msys2/mingw64 does not find pango/cairo packages
When I run
pkg-config.exe pangocairo --libs
on the Mingw64 shell I get:
-L/mingw64/lib -LC:/building/msys64/mingw64/lib/../lib -L/mingw64/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpangoft2-1.0
-lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lusp10 -l pango-1.0 -lm -lcairo -lz -lgobject-2.0 -lffi -lpixman-1 -lfontconfig -lexpat

-lshlwapi -lpcre -lintl -lpcre -lgraphite2 -lpng16 -lz
But if I run cmake using
/c/Program\ Files/CMake/bin/cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DMSYS=1 -DPLD_extcairo=ON -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/c/msys64/mingw64/ ../
I get
-- No package 'pangocairo' found
-- WARNING: pango and/or cairo not found with pkg-config.
The same is true for pango, pangoft2 and other packages. They exists if I run pkg-config, but are not detected by cmake. Please note that in the cmake output the correct PKG_CONFIG_DIR is displayed.

Summary of CMake build system results for PLplot
Install location variables which can be set by the user. N.B. These
variables are ordered by decreasing degree of generality, with the
default values of the later ones in the list determined by the
values of variables earlier in the list. So, for example, it is
usually sufficient in the vast majority of cases to just set
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and the rest of these variables are adjusted
accordingly (at least for a fresh configuration), and it is rare
indeed that is is necessary for a user to set any variable here whose

I don't have access to MinGW-w64/MSYS2 myself, but Arjen Markus's last
comprehensive test there (see his test results in
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Testing%20Reports)
shows none of the above problems with pkg-config. In fact, I have
access to the cmake output results from that test, and when comparing
those with yours above, in his case cmake found the "mingw" version of
pkg-config (located at $prefix/mingw64/bin/pkg-config.exe) while in
your case cmake has found the "msys" version (located above at
$prefix/usr/bin/pkg-config.exe). I am virtually positive that "msys"
version will only find "msys" libraries (if any of that very limited
set of libraries publish pkg-config results) which explains why the
"msys" version of pkg-config had no success at all above. So to fix
this, you have to make sure that cmake finds the "mingw" version of
pkg-config.
I assume Arjen (like you?) built PLplot using the Mingw64 shell. In any
case, from his comprehensive test report of that build, when he looked
at PATH from the bash perspective, i.e.,
printenv |grep PATH
he obtained the following result
PATH="/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/"
Note that /mingw64/bin is higher in the PATH than /usr/bin
(which explains why cmake found the /mingw64/bin version of pkg-config
in his case).
So please insure your PATH (from the bash perspective) also has
/mingw64/bin higher than /usr/bin, and let me know whether
that solves the issue.

Hi Alan,
for me PATH is:
PATH=/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/c/Windows/System32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
Seems to be fine, but it doesn't work that way. I could not find the problem, but it seems to be a problem of cmake and/or msys2.
I finally succeeded to build PLplot by hard-coding the variables in the cmake files of the pango/cairo libraries to the correct values (copy&paste of my pkg-config output)
Regards

Good. That means once you have convinced cmake to find and use the
"mingw" version of pkg-config.exe you should be fine. So although you
have a workaround now, I would appreciate you going on for the sake of
other PLplot users of the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform so we can advise
them in our wiki (once you figure out what the problem really is) how
to avoid the pkg-config trouble you have encountered.
Well, it is always a possibility that cmake no longer works correctly
on msys2, but it certainly worked correctly relatively recently when
Arjen did his test so I think that explanation is unlikely. So here
are some more likely explanations for why CMake finds the wrong
version of pkg-config for you to consider.
Is the problem that you are working with a stale cached value for the
pkg-config.exe location? That is, after you set the above PATH did
you start over with a fresh build in an initially empty build directory?
Anyhow, make sure you use a fresh build for each of your further tests.
I have just noticed in your original report that you used
"/c/Program\ Files/CMake/bin/cmake". That is likely a CMake version
that you downloaded from Kitware which should work fine for a bare
Windows system such as MSVC, but which is likely not suitable for the
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform. Instead, you should install and use cmake from the
mingw side of MinGW-w64/MSYS2. To confirm which version of cmake you
are using, take a look at the CMakeCache.txt file in the build tree
which gives the full path to cmake.exe. I have access to Arjen's
CMakeCache.txt which confirms his successful result was achieved using
$prefix/mingw64/bin/cmake.exe. Note, you should not use
the version of CMake from the msys side of MinGW-w64/MSYS2.
I have just downloaded to my Linux system
http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake-3.9.6-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
(the latest version of CMake from the mingw side of MinGW-w64/MSYS2)
and taken a look at the file mingw64/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake within
that package which controls how pkg-config is found.
That logic (which you can check for youself by looking at the same
file installed as part of this MinGW-w64/MSYS2 cmake package) simply uses
find_program(PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE NAMES pkg-config DOC "pkg-config executable")
to find pkg-config.exe, and if you look up
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.9/command/find_program.html that
logic should simply find /mingw64/bin/pkg-config.exe with the above
PATH set. So I am predicting that is what the result will be once you
install and use the correct version of CMake from the mingw side of
MinGW-w64/MSYS2.
But if not, then I have to ask you are you forcing the wrong choice by
(inadvertently) using one of the other methods detailed in that URL
for affecting how CMake finds executables in general? Or are you
setting either the PKG_CONFIG environment variable or the CMake cache
variable PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE (two other specific methods of
affecting how CMake finds pkg-config according to the documentation in
/mingw64/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake).
Good luck, and let me know how it goes.
