 Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 6:01 pm Post subject: Missing Xft in my portage |
 |
|
It's been a while since I've played with my fonts, but I have to now since I'm trying to update my gtk.
My problem is I can't seem to find xft in my portage tree.
When I do:
It tells me that it is going to update xfree. Is that necessary?
I thought xft is a separate package unrelated to xfree.
I also don't have an xft ebuild in my x11-libs and I don't have an xft.pc anywhere on my system.
What I'm trying to do is compile pango for xft so that I can build my gtk.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific right now as I don't have the borked system in front of me. I'll post in more detail when I get home.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer  |

XFT is part of "xorg-x11" or "xfree" ebuilds.

My problem is that when I try to emerge gtk 2.4, I get the error
| Quote: | | configure: error: Pango 1.2.0 and Xft backend is required for x11 target |
This has to do with compiling pango for xft. I've been googling for hours, and most of the results have mentioned having the following files in pkg-config path:
| Quote: | | xft.pc, pangoxft.pc |
However, I don't have either of these files anywhere. How do I get my system to generate them?
Also there is no xft-?.?.?.ebuild in my portage.
I'm stuck in text mode now because gdm won't even start anymore. :/ |

1) You are doing smth wrong. Correct command to emerge gtk is "emerge -pvu gtk+" (without 'p').
2)
| Code: | $ slocate xft.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pangoxft.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xft.pc
$ epm -qf /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xft.pc
xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1
$ epm -qf /usr/lib/pkgconfig/pangoxft.pc
pango-1.6.0
|
Again: XFT is part of xorg-x11 ebuild.
