pango, pango-devel: +quartz doesn't compile on tiger

[neric27@…]

with pango 1.26, some new CTFontRef is used, which is not present in mac OS X Tiger (aka 10.4). I'm afraid this is something which has to be fixed upstream...

The error is :

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_pango/work/pango-1.26.0" && /usr/bin/make -j1 all " returned error 2

the offensive commit is here : ​http://git.gnome.org/cgit/pango/commit/?id=01783de926a09dd8a3b11699bc8b1a6b6dce0556

In WebKit for instance, they seem to maintain compatibility ​http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/30997.

I'm not a Cocoa developer, so I can't propose any patch. The obvious would be to back-apply the pango commit and hope for the best.

I agree. I assume upstream is already aware of the problem since it has been noted on the pango mailing list ​here and ​here. For now I marked the quartz variant as requiring 10.5 or greater in r58387. If upstream changes pango to once again make quartz possible on 10.4, let me know and I'll remove this restriction again.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Hi Ryan, I tried pango 1.28.0 +quartz this morning and it builds and works well. It fixes an issue in ​gPodder when subscribing to a podcast containing text written in Hebrew.

The ​upstream bug is still open though...

Fixed for pango in r72474.
