GNAT Pitfalls

Pango #

The supplied pango won’t compile with newer freetypes. In such cases you should install pango from the distribution.

Python #

The Python detector in GPS is quite primitive and supplies misleading error messages. The --with-python options needs to point to a directory from which to find lib/libpython.so and include/python/. On most systems that should be /usr. You might have to provide symbolic links to the actual files and directories.

But even when the python development files are found you might still experience link error.
