I took a look at your Xft port, and tried to get it working on my system.  I ran into a few issues: * When I try to build libXft, I hit a compilation error: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/tmp/xcb-util-inst/include -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -I../include/xcb/Xft -g -O2 -MT xftdpy-xcb.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/xftdpy-xcb.Tpo -c xftdpy-xcb.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/xftdpy-xcb.o xftdpy-xcb.c: In function '_XftDisplayInfoGet': xftdpy-xcb.c:152: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_TYPE' undeclared (first use in this function) xftdpy-xcb.c:152: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once xftdpy-xcb.c:152: error: for each function it appears in.) xftdpy-xcb.c:152: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_DEPTH' undeclared (first use in this function) xftdpy-xcb.c:153: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_RED_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function) xftdpy-xcb.c:153: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_GREEN_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function) xftdpy-xcb.c:154: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_BLUE_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function) xftdpy-xcb.c:154: error: 'XCB_PICT_FORMAT_ALPHA_MASK' undeclared (first use in this function) * I think libpixman has actually become deprecated, though I don't know the   suggested replacement offhand.  (Possibly this got folded into cairo.)</blockquote><div> No,these errors have nothing to do with libpixman, just because your xcb-util library is a little old. xcb-util has update for "Rename enumerations to coding standard", you should get the latest xcb-util. XCB_PICT_FORMAT_* now defines in xcb_renderutil.h. Can you run it then? </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">* You didn't have the Xorg macros on your system when you autotooled libXft,   so the XORG_RELEASE_VERSION macro didn't get expanded, and ends up in the   configure script, which tries to execute it as a shell command.</blockquote><div> correct. But it doesnt block the building without that macro. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">* Going along with the previous: you checked generated files like configure   into your subversion repository.  In general, you don't want to do that;   people who pull straight from version control should run ./autogen.sh. We definitely welcome ports of key libraries like Xft and Pango to XCB.  You may want to request an account on <a href="http://freedesktop.org"> freedesktop.org</a>, so that you could work on libXft there; see <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests</a> for details. Do you have any experience with the git version control system?  libXft has a git repository on <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>, and you could easily create a new libXft git repository for XCB porting work, which would make it easy to merge back in when ready.</blockquote> <div> yeah, i  should  work on that repository.</div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks, Josh Triplett </blockquote></div>
