No. The problem isn't regularly building the library, but setting up an environment that can compile it just once. I thought that my recent experience with mingw32/mingw64 to compile GMP and MPFR might help me compile Pango, but it seems that I'm still not expert enough. Meanwhile, it occurs to me that it's easy to just patch the binary --- a one-byte change should do it. Clement, can you try one of the following (the one matching your Racket installation) as a replacement for "libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll" in the "lib" directory of your Racket installation? Win32: http://download.racket-lang.org/libs/10/win32/i386/libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll Win64: http://download.racket-lang.org/libs/10/win32/x86_64/libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
