[Scribus] Solaris 10 - getting really close

Solaris comes with a pile of PostScript fonts, so that’s covered. I don’t think there’s a fontconfig--nothing in my path (which is fairly extensive), but more to the point, no man page for it. There are all sorts of FcFont[...] entries in the man pages, though... Not sure what they all are. They all seem to reference 3fontconfig, which also has no man page.—Rainer

That sounds like fontconfig. It’s an open source library, remember - checking for documentation is hardly a conclusive way to determine its absence :S

Look for fontconfig.h and fontconfig.so (or whatever Solaris calls shared libraries ... I don’t have it installed yet).

I strongly suspect it’ll be present, given the Fc* manpages and the fact that Solaris 10 has GNOME, which tends to use fontconfig (and may require it, not sure).

You may need to tweak your PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var to include the directory where ’fontconfig.pc’ is if Scribus’s `configure’ script doesn’t find it the first time around.—Craig
