Dear all, We are a group of final year B.E.(Computer) students from VJTI,Mumbai working under Prof. Jitendra Shah on Localization project.We are trying to develop Unicode based input method for Devanagari using GTK+ and Pango.Given below is installation procedure for Pango:
* Installing Pango 1.2.1 on rh8.0 from tarball :-
1)Requirements: pkgconfig >= 0.15 Glib >= 2.1.3 Xft >= 2.0 first make sure that all these packages are installed on your system. If not, you can always get their latest tarballs from http://www.gtk.org/ 2)next check out whether the file /etc/ld.so.conf contains an entry /usr/local/lib 3)run /sbin/ldconfig from bash 4)set environment variables $export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig $export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/var/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib: 5)now you should not have any problem in installation (use ./configure,make ,make install)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Making pango-viewer example work:-
Pango installation directory contains a subdir 'examples' which contains an example program illustrating Pango's capability of displaying text from various scripts.But this program doesn't work directly.You have to follow these steps: a. first go to 'example' directory in Pango installation directory b. run 'make' from bash.You'll get an error message stating some required file is not found in '../pango/' directory.Find out the missing file ( using locate,whereis etc.) and copy that file to 'pango' directory in Pango installation directory. c. repeat the above step until you get rid of similar error message. d. Next, when you start getting error message reporting a file missing in 'modules' directory, go to 'modules' directory in Pango installation directory.There you will find dirs like indic,hebrew,tamil arabic etc. One-by-one go to each of these dirs and run 'make'.
Once you finish all these steps successfully, go to 'examples' directory and type ./pango-viewer to see output.
have a nice day. Bye. Swapnil
