Re: [gtk-osx-users] gtk2 failing to build + no pangoft2

["David Cooke" <djcooke wintree plus com>]

I've shut down macOS for today.  The immediate puzzle - which I'll check out
tomorrow - is that the required definitions are included in the header file
pango/pangocoretext.h which is included in the pango-1.44.7 tarball but is
now absent from the pango include directory after pango has been built.
Logically, I would expect to find it in
$PREFIX/inst/include/pango-1.0/pango.

David Cooke

It does. The CoreText support is built into libpangocairo-1.0.dylib.
