libfontconfig.so: undefined reference

I am building GTK with DriectFB for powerpc platform. my host PC is running under fedora

with the help of http://directfb.org/wiki/index.php/P...bedded_Systems

i could able to compile and install the packages according to the above link. but
while compiling pango i am getting the error

Code:

there are similar problems discussed in other forums but that did not helped me to resolve.
please share your ideas.

fedora 18 uses gcc 4.7
and 4.7 is WAY more "strict" in codding standards than say gcc 4.1

it is a very common issue that software will not ( YET ) build on a current fedora 18 because of the very VERY newest of the new version gcc

one very often needs to hack software to ( even if it is only 6 mo. old ) to get it into compliance with the very new gcc

--- this is only a guess so...----

you will need to add "-lfontconfig"to the linker line

that is easier said than done

it might be buried deep in the "configure" or one of the "Makefile's"

if i had to guess in the Makefile in "/home/power/arief/pango-1.20.0/pango/opentype"

however
pango IS in the fedora 18 repos

Code:

su -

yum search pango

---- then from the list install it 

yum install pango pango-devel

Thank you very very much i added "-lfontconfig" in CFLAGS linker line in /pango-1.20.0/pango/opentype/Makefile.
Now make moved to next step with some other error.

Got right answer for current thread - solved, Thanks John
