+It is recommended that GLib is compiled with VS9 to compile Pango.
+External dependencies are at least Cairo, zlib, libpng,
+gettext-runtime; optional dependencies include fontconfig, freetype,
+and expat. Please see the build/win32/vs9/README.txt file in glib
+for details where to unpack them.
+
+Decide first whether you would want to use fontconfig (which also includes
+freetype) prior to starting this build-Cairo needs to be built with freetype
+*and* fontconfig support before building Pango. You will need fontconfig
+support if you plan on building GIMP, or if you need support for complex
+language scripts via fontconfig.
+
+It is recommended that one builds the dependencies with VS9 as far as
+possible, especially those from and using the GTK+ stack (i.e. GLib and
+Cairo, [Cairo if one is planning to use GTK+ 3.x]), so that crashes
+caused by mixing calls to different CRTs can be kept at a minimum.
+zlib, libpng, and Cairo do contain support for compiling under VS9
+using VS project files and/or makefiles at this time of writing.
+For GLib, VS9 project files are available under
+$(srcroot)/build/vs9 in the case of GLib (stable/unstable).
+
+There is no known official VS9 build support for fontconfig
+(along with freetype and expat which will work with the pre-compiled
+fontconfig binary on ftp.gnome.org) and gettext-runtime, so please use
+the binaries from:
+
+ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ (32 bit)
+ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win64/dependencies/ (64 bit)

Set up the source tree as follows under some arbitrary top folder
<root>:
-<root>\pango\<this-pango-source-tree>
+<root>\<this-pango-source-tree>
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>
+Unzip the binaries obtained from ftp.gnome.org in <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>,
+and build the following, if not already done so:

+Note: put the resulting zlib, libpng, pcre and Cairo files as follows:
+ .dll files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin
+ .lib files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib
+ .h files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include
+
+The recommended build order for these dependencies:
+(first unzip any dependent binaries downloaded from the ftp.gnome.org
+ as described in the README.txt file in the build/win32/vs9 folder)
+-zlib
+-libpng
+-(optional for GLib) PCRE (version 8.12 or later, use of CMake to
+ build PCRE is recommended-see build/win32/vs9/README.txt of GLib)
+-GLib (put the sources in <root>\<GLib-Source-Tree>, and build it from
+ there with VS9)
+-Cairo (inclusive of Cairo-GObject-if using GTK+-3.x)

+Use the pango_fc.sln solution if usage of fontconfig is desired; otherwise
+use the pango.sln solution.
