[Tuxpaint-devel] Building Pango with MinGW/MSYS (Was plug-in API changes)

[John P. <jo...@jo...>]

Hi Lee,

I checked my archives and TOYAMA Shin-ichi reported a problem building
pango which may be related to your difficulties:

Reviewing my build instructions, I notice that I claim:

"A couple of spurious error dialog boxes appear related to the
'pango-querymodules' wrapper script, but it seems that they can be
safely ignored."

So I may just have been 'lucky' or forgot to document that I copied the
.pc file manually, I can't remember. By the time I got to trying to
build GTK+ I was tearing my hair out and may have missed a couple of the
steps required :-)

Unfortunately, I didn't ask TOYAMA Shin-ichi what changes he made to the
'modules/Makefile' to get it to work for him.

When I run make to build a clean pango, I get an error dialog:

"sh.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You
will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

I just waited for the build to complete, and then closed the dialog.

Changing the RUN_QUERY_MODULES_TEST from true to false in modules/Makefile
prevented this error. It would appear that running 'pango-querymodules'
after make install is then required, and I notice that the instructions
include that step before running the GTK+ tests.

Hope that helps, good luck,

regards,
John.
PS I build on a Win2K system which may explain this difference in
behaviour.
