Compiling: libpango-1.0.dylib has no table of contents on Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

I am trying to build pango-1.36.3 as a dynamic library for Mac OS X 10.5 PPC. This is part of the dependencies I am putting togther, so I can build my own copy of the GIMP. I have built my own GIMP in the past and have had no problems compiling Pango. However, this time, the build fails when trying to link the executable pango-querymodules.

I get an error telling me that I have some undefined symbols. These symbols should be in the copy of libpango-1.0.dylib that was just built. When I find that library and run otool -Tv on it I find that it has no table of contents. When I tried otool -tv to disassemble the text section I find that the symbols are indeed there, but there is an empty table of contents so the library cannot be linked against. I was able to complete the compile when building only static libraries, but I do not want to use this build as the OSX "way" is to use dynamic libraries. I am on a newer installation of OSX 10.5 than when I built Pango earlier, so something must be awry in my build system. BTW, this also happens when trying to build GDK-Pixbuf, another Gnome library. I have not found anything useful on Google after hours of searching.

Can anybody give me a pointer as to where to look to fix this problem?

Hmmm, no expert, but...

I believe this is due to an API change that is fixed in the new pango-1.22.0 so an upgrade is probably called for.

Thank you for the response, BDAqua. I actually was using the latest stable Pango tarball, pango-1.36.3. I even cloned Pango's GIT master and tried to compile that, with the same problem. As I said in my original post, I am having the same problem when I try to compile GDK-Pixbuf. I have compiled both projects successfully in the past so I am inclined to believe that the fault lies not with Pango, but with some component in my local build system.

I was hesitant to post in the developer forums because this is really an end user problem, but perhaps i will try that. Before that, I think I might post on the Xcode mailing list, which is for anyone using the Xcode suite of tools, which I am. I did not see a forum community for Xcode.
