Hi ppl,
A while ago I promised to make a garball for fontconfig. I did some
feeble attempt for it, but I really didn't want to screw up my gnome2
for it. I was badly needing it to get some work done.
But this weekend I started compiling Garnome 0.16 from scratch, normally
I just look at the diff. And yesterday-evening I compiled fontconfig for
this fresh and thus still warm installation of gnome 2.0.2.
I kept some notes on my progress and steps I made, so I could share it
with you guys.
Well... here it is:
First of all I installed gnome2 in /opt/garnome, so please change any
references to this directory for your installation-directory of gnome.
The first step I took was installing the latest freetype in the
garnome-tree and compile it. I attached a garball for this purpose
- unpack free-garball in garnome-tree
- cd gnome/freetype
- make install
- cd ../pango
- make clean
- make install
So far no fontconfig stuff, the pango recompile isn't even needed. But
it does confirm you have freetype running properly. You should also make
sure pango uses the correct freetype libraries. You can do this with
'ldd', but you do need to set 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' correctly before
checking.
At this point you could be happy with the newest freetype. The following
steps probably also work with the freetype already installed in your
system, which is most likely to be 2.0.9.
First you will need to grab the fontconfig-package from the website
(www.fontconfig.org). It talks about a 2.0 download somewhere.
Unpack it somewhere, e.g. under /usr/src
- cd /usr/src/fcpackage.2_0/fontconfig/
- ./configure --prefix=/opt/garnome
--with-confdir=/opt/garnome/etc/fonts
--with-freetype-includes=/opt/garnome/include/freetype2/
--with-freetype-lib=/opt/garnome/lib/
--with-freetype-config=/opt/garnome/bin/freetype-config
(all on one line)
- make sure it found expat.h and freetype.h
- make && make install
- cd ../Xft
- apply the following patch to the 'configure.in' file, to change the
order in which libraries are found

- make && make install
So far everything is installed into the same directory as gnome2 is
installed. The following package however is installed in the
X11-directory on your system. This shouldn't cause any problems, but I
needed to mention this.
- cd ../Xrender
- xmkmf -a
- make && make install
Now we are almost ready. Only pango doesn't know about fontconfig yet.
The version installed with garnome doesn't support fontconfig. But the
attached Makefile for your garnome-pango directory downloads a beta of
pango with support for fontconfig. I also attached the checksums file.
- cp Makefile /usr/src/garnome-0.16.2/gnome/pango
- cp checksum /usr/src/garnome-0.16.2/gnome/pango
- cd /usr/src/garnome-0.16.2/gnome/pango
- make install
Now only gtk needs to be recompiled, it already has support for
fontconfig, so no new version is needed.
- cd ../gtk+
- make clean
- make install
Alright... now you should have a spiffy gnome2 using fontconfig. I
suggest to reboot or otherwise make sure all gnome2 libraries are
unloaded. I normally do this by going into runlevel 3 (telinit 3),
killing any processes still runnning. And then going back to runlevel 5
(telinit 5).
This is enough for me, since I use gdm2. When you use gdm2, and click on
the 'language'-button you might be able to see chinese/japanese or
whatever correctly rendered. At least I see them. And if you don't you
either haven't got the right fonts installed or fontconfig didn't find
them.
You can add more font-directories in /opt/garnom/etc/fonts/fonts.conf. I
attached my version of the file. But this probably has a few
directories, that actually shouldn't be included.
If you have any problems with the above walk-through just let me know.
Have fun,
-A.
