Bug Description

I compile Inkscape trunk on ArchLinux and got this error.

  CXX extension/internal/cairo-render-context.o
In file included from /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pango-context.h:26:0,

make[3]: *** [extension/internal/cairo-render-context.o] Error 1

It seems like something related to GTK2 and Pango. I have the following installed on my machine.

local/gtk2 2.24.14-1
    GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit (v2)
local/pango 1.32.4-1
    A library for layout and rendering of text

Just wonder if this is an upstream bug or not.

Inkscape trunk does define G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED:

Should be fixed in lp:inkscape r11938. Let me know if it is still causing problems.

I've also bumped the Pango requirement to > 1.24 so we don't need to support ancient versions.

Marking as "Fix Released" because the stable Inkscape versions don't define G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
