-The Pango backends written for Win32 is pangowin32. Pangowin32 uses
-the Win32 DirectWrite font API. GTK+ 2.8 and later on Win32 however
-actually uses the pangocairo backend (which then uses only small parts of
-pangowin32). Much of the DirectWrite font API calls are in cairo.
-
-To build Pango for Win32:
-
-You need to have gcc (mingw-w64) or Visual Studio 2015 or later, along with
-Python 3.6.x+ and Meson 0.55.3 at the time of writing. However, if you do not
-have HarfBuzz installed and are building it as part of building Pango, you will
-need to use Visual Studio 2017 (the latest 15.9.x release is recommended) or
-later. If building the introspection files, you will also need to ensure that
-the Python release series and build architecture (i.e. Win32 (x86)/
-x64 (amd64/x86-64) matches the Python release series and build
-architecture that was used to build GObject-Introspection.
-The Python interpreter executable directory must be in your PATH.
-The Ninja build utility must also be in your PATH, unless using the
-Visual Studio IDE as noted below. Cross-compiling Pango for ARM64/aarch64
-with Visual Studio 2017 or later is also supported, provided if a cross
-compilation file for Meson is properly setup for such builds (please refer
-to the Meson documentation for further instructions). Support for
-introspection for ARM64 builds is currently not supported, due to the lack
-of an official build of Python for ARM64 Windows, and introspection builds
-are currently not supported for any cross-builds.
-
-You will also need the following libraries installed with their headers
-and import libraries, and their DLLs, if applicable, needs to be found in
-%PATH%. All of their required dependencies are required as well. Their
-pkg-config files are needed on all builds.
-
--GLib
--Fribidi
--Cairo (With Win32+DirectWrite support built in, optionally libpng support)
--HarfBuzz (GLib, GObject and DirectWrite support required)
-
-Please see meson.build to see what versions are needed for these dependencies.
-
-Follow the following steps to build Pango:
-
-1) Invoke the Meson configuration as follows, in a directory separate from the sources:
-
-(With MinGW, please adjust the paths accordingly, in a MSYS/MSYS2 bash prompt)
-PATH=/devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/bin:$PATH ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/share/aclocal" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/devel/dist/glib-2.8.0/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH CC='gcc -mtune=pentium3' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/gnu/include' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/gnu/lib' CFLAGS=-O meson $(PATH_TO_SRC) --buildtype=$(buildtype) --prefix=$(PREFIX)
-
-(With Visual Studio, set the INCLUDE, LIB, PATH and envvars as
-needed before running the following in a Visual Studio command prompt)
-meson $(PATH_TO_SRC) --buildtype=$(buildtype) --prefix=$(PREFIX) [--pkg-config-path=...]
-
-For Visual Studio builds, support for building using the Visual Studio IDE
-is also supported to some extent. Append --backend=vs to the Meson
-configuration command above to use this support. Note that this support
-may not work as well as the builds that are carried out by Ninja, and
-issues in regards to building with Meson using Visual Studio with the IDE (i.e.
-msbuild) should be reported to the Meson project.
-
-2) Build Pango by running Ninja, or by opening and building the generated
- Visual Studio solution file.
-
-3) Run tests and/or install the build using the "test" and "install" targets
- or sub-projects respectively.
-

-Pango's dependencies with Visual Studio:
