[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] Re: #5545 Compatibility with pango 1.44

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues via Testlilyissues-auto]

Upstream has rolled back this change. I'm sure it will take a littleb bit of time to land in distros, but when it does Lilypond compiled agoinst 1.43 should work again even with new Pango dropped in. What that won't solve is being able to compile against 1.44, which is also a problem because distros that have new Pango won't be able to update (and hence include) Lilypond.

This is already an issue on Arch that is stuck one point release behind because it won't compile. As soon as this compile time issue is fixed it should make it's way to a point release so Arch and other up to date distros can keep using it on new systems.

[issues:#5545] Compatibility with pango 1.44

Status: Accepted

Reported by T. Sefzick:

With the new pango version 1.44 compilation of

src/lilypond/lily/pango-font.cc

gives warnings about
'void* pango_fc_font_lock_face(PangoFcFont*)'
to be deprecated and
'pango_font_get_hb_font'
should be used instead.

followed by
error: invalid conversion from 'gpointer' {aka 'void*'} to 'FT_Face' {aka 'FT_FaceRec_*'}

Seems that pango doesn't work with freetype fonts anymore.

A side note: lilypond executables compiled with pango <=1.43
produce an empty 1st page when run with pango 1.44 installed.
