[Fontconfig] Packaging fontconfig for redistribution

[Lupusoru, Razvan A]

Hello,

 

I am trying to get GTK working for an IA32 system. I am using an Ubuntu
8.04.1 development box. I am using a gcc and ld specific to my IA32
system.

 

This is my makefile:

###################################

BUILD_DEST = /i686-custom-kernel

CC = $(BUILD_DEST)/bin/i686-linux-gcc

CPP = $(CC) -E

CXX = $(BUILD_DEST)/bin/i686-linux-g++

LD = $(BUILD_DEST)/bin/i686-linux-ld

GTKINSTALLPATH = $(BUILD_DEST)

export

 

all:

                ./buildgtk

###################################

 

And this is the fontconfig portion of my buildgtk script:

###################################

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BUILD_DEST/lib

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$BUILD_DEST/lib/pkgconfig

export CPPFLAGS="-I$BUILD_DEST/include -I$BUILD_DEST/include/libxml2
-I$BUILD_DEST/include/freetype2 -I$BUILD_DEST/include/glib-2.0
-I$BUILD_DEST/include/atk-1.0 -I$BUILD_DEST/include/pango-1.0
-I$BUILD_DEST/include/pixman-1 -I$BUILD_DEST/include/cairo"

export CFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS}

export CXXFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS}

export LDFLAGS="-L$BUILD_DEST/lib"

export FREETYPE_CFLAGS="-I$BUILD_DEST/include/
-I$BUILD_DEST/include/freetype2"

export FREETYPE_LIBS="-L$BUILD_DEST/lib -lfreetype"

export FREETYPE_CONFIG=$BUILD_DEST/bin/freetype-config

export CAIRO_CFLAGS="-I$BUILD_DEST/include/cairo"

export CAIRO_LIBS="-L$BUILD_DEST/lib -lcairo"

export PANGO_CFLAGS="-I$BUILD_DEST/include/pango-1.0
-I$BUILD_DEST/include"

export PANGO_LIBS="-L$BUILD_DEST/lib -lpango-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0
-lpangoft2-1.0"

export FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS="-I$BUILD_DEST/include"

export FONTCONFIG_LIBS="-L$BUILD_DEST/lib"

 

# ... a bunch of stuff in between to build glib, pixman, freetype, atk,
and all other dependencies...

 

./configure -prefix= --enable-shared --enable-libxml2
--with-freetype-config=$BUILD_DEST/bin/freetype-config --disable-docs
--host=i686-linux && \

make && \

make bindir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/bin \

                sbindir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/sbin \

                includedir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/include \

                libdir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/lib \

                datarootdir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/share \

                mandir=${GTKINSTALLPATH}/share/man \

                install

###################################

 

The problem arises because I am building this so then I can transfer it
to my IA32 system. The contents of $BUILD_DEST are actually the contents
of the root on my IA32 system. But because I need to build all of the
components for GTK on my system, the paths are set incorrectly.

 

I fix the "prefix" portion of all of the .pc files to make them point to
$BUILD_DEST. However, when I try to compile pango, I get the following
error:

###################################

grep: /lib/libfontconfig.la: No such file or directory

libtool: link: `/lib/libfontconfig.la' is not a valid libtool archive

###################################

 

This is caused because fontconfig thinks that its path is actually in
/lib when in reality on my dev system it is in $BUILD_DEST/lib

 

So my question is:

Is there any way to package up something like fontconfig so that I can
build against it properly on my dev system but I can also easily
transfer it to my IA32 system and it work properly? Namely I do not want
for fontconfig to look inside $BUILD_DEST/etc/fonts for fonts.conf, but
to look in /etc/fonts when I put it on my IA32 system.

 

The method that "worked" for me was by setting the prefix to $BUILD_DEST
and the conf file to /etc/fonts. But I had to rename my system
/etc/fonts, install my package, take the /etc/fonts and move it to
$BUILD_DEST, and then restore my normal /etc/fonts.

 

Thank you,
