UPDATE: Xft2-2.1.12

[IngmarStein@…]

The attached patch updates the x11/Xft2 port from 2.1.7 to 2.1.12.

I tried upgrading Xft2 to 2.1.12, and it caused openMotif 2.3.0_1 to no longer build. See #12444. So I'm inclined not to touch Xft2 at this time, until that problem has been resolved. If someone would like to open a dialog with the openMotif or Xft2 developers about this problem and report back here that would be wonderful.

Hi, I spent some time to find out what's going wrong with xft2 2.1.12. The only thing I find, xft-config.in looks like the old one, but some lines in xft.pc.in, available in the xft-config.in header too, are deleted.

OpenMotif use "pkg-config xft --cflags" to get some compile/link options.

After using a patch file to get the old compile/link options, openmotif is running with xft2 2.1.12.

But I don't know, maybe it's a bug or not in xft2, but it seems to me like a typo.

Bye, Lutz

New Portfile

Patchfile for xftp.pc.in

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thank you, Lutz, for checking into this. Have you confirmed with the developers of Xft2 that this is a bug, and that they will fix it in this way in the next version of Xft2?

Hi, I send a request/question to fontconfig@…, this is the mailing list from the libXft folks. Hopefully I/we get an answer. Bye, Lutz

[lutz_mader@…]

I add a ticket to the bug list today, see ​https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12152 for more information. Bye, Lutz

[lutz_mader@…]

Hi, it seems to be a bug between my ears, it's much more easy to install all existing dependencies first. After a closer look to the source I think xft2 (libXft) use xorg-xproto (xproto)! Sorry, Lutz

p.s. The new Portfile file works without any patch.

[lutz_mader@…]

Hi, the libxft folks are conform to me!

See ​http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12152

Bye, Lutz

p.s.
I checked how 2.1.7 works first, but the old version don't need xproto.

2.1.7 was before xproto existed.   2.1.8 was the first Xft release from 
the X11R7 modular series.
