Subject: 23.2; libfontconfig not used when linking temacs
Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 21:23:02 +0100

Hello!

When compiling GNU Emacs 23.2 the first time in summer with Fink on  
Mac OS X 10.5.8 libfontconfig was linked. Trying to build GNU Emacs  
again, due to supposed problems with libXaw3d, now with MacPorts  
instead of Fink (configure script edited to reflect this),  
libfontconfig is not linked although found by configure:

	checking for fontconfig >= 2.2.0... yes
	checking FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS... -I/opt/local/include
	checking FONTCONFIG_LIBS... -L/opt/local/lib -lfontconfig

Config.log has:

	configure:13478: checking for pkg-config
	configure:13509: result: /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
	configure:13523: checking for fontconfig >= 2.2.0

	configure:13537: checking FONTCONFIG_LIBS
	configure:13540: result: -L/opt/local/lib -lfontconfig

A related C header file gets used later:

When configuring with GTK-2 linking succeeds, possibly because of:

	checking GTK_LIBS... -L/opt/local/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 - 
latk-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lXext -lXrender -lXinerama -lXi -lXrandr - 
lXcursor -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -

lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 - 
lintl -liconv


GNU Emacs 23.2.92 seems to behave similarly.

It seems to me that bugs #7936 and #8030 are the same, so they should
probably be merged.

Moreover, AFAICS the root of the problem is that configure.in (in Emacs
23.2 and emacs-23) inadvertently clears FONTCONFIG_LIBS, so that
'-lfontconfig' is not passed to the linker.  This has been fixed by
Miles on the trunk in revision 102932:

This bug causes Emacs to FTBFS on GNU/Linux as well with a strict
linker when configured "--with-x-toolkit=lucid", see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614823.  I can confirm
that Miles' change fixes that problem.

Any chance to get this fix into Emacs 23.3?

Regards,
        Sven

I discussed this with Stefan.  It's not obviously safe, so it seems
better to leave it for Emacs 24.
