I confirmed my SDL2_Pango.spec which I used to create rpm package for SDL_Pango.
I think it was tweaked based on the spec file for SDL_Pango.

Seeing the spec file, I could build SDL2_Pango on my ubuntu on VMware as follows.

$ tar zxvf SDL2_Pango-0.1.2.tar.gz 
$ cd SDL2_Pango-0.1.2/
$ autoreconf -i 
$ libtoolize --copy --force
$ automake --add-missing
$ ./configure --disable-static
$ make

good luck!!
