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

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

It seems all that's required is to manually add pangocoretext.h to
$PREFIX/inst/include after pango is installed - the other missing header(s)
I don't need.

Attempting to build my program now leads to linker errors - undefined
symbols - but only for the macOS Core Text CTFont functions called,
presumably because I am still missing a macOS library.

There is no undefined symbol reported in respect of the single Pango Core
Text function which is called.

Gtk-OSX is only a build manager. What gets installed is controlled by the
individual project; in the case of  pangocoretext.h, that would be
pango/meson.build.

To verify that the CoreText support is present, run `otool -L
$PREFIX/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.dylib` and observe that CoreText.framework is
linked.
