This says the compiler has generated a default signature for the
pango_context_new function which returns an int because it did not find
the function declaration. Looking a the pango/pango-context.h header
shows the function declaration is enclosed in #ifdef/#endif which are
true only if you build a pango module which is not what you want to do
here.

pango_context_new is a private function used only by subclasses of
PangoContext. Instead, you want to instantiate a subclass for your
platform.

I am not sure what you are trying to do but you can get the platform's
default context object for a given layout with pango_layout_get_context.
