Re: Problem Compiling Gtk+-2.18.1

[Carlos Alberto de Oliveira Alves <calvesmit ig com br>]

Thanks Tadej,

I just got sucess compiling gtk+ as you adviced me.

I just updated fontconfig to the last 2.8.0 version, which included the last fontconfig.h also;

and followed the preferred sequence of installing whole GTK+ stack: 

cairo, glib, atk, pango, gtk.

as said by http://gtkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=3760&highlight=fontconfig

and it worked for me!

But for the last; 

I just got errors when making the  optional "make check" step for cairo and gtk+ as bellow:

So I do ask: "Does these errors mean I'm exposed to any kind of attack by securities holes when using

this libraries?!"

Hello.

I'm reposting this back to mailing list for other to help.

> No, I already have fontconfig 2.4.2 installed! that's enough, isn't it?
> Anybody else could point me out another hints?

If I'm not mistaken, you'll need fontconfig development package. I
searched the gtkforums.com for a thread that deals with this error and
this is what I found:
