Unable to install the dependencies on windows

[sumanth-kalluri]

I have spent days trying to figure out how to get this thing working. I have python 2 and python 3 installed on windows.
I've also downloaded the latest GTK libraries. All I get when I run Symbolator from the command line is
no module named: 'cairo'
when I do pip install pycairo all I get is cairo.h : No such file or directory found although I can clearly find a cairo.h on using the search in the file manager (already tried adding cairo.h filepath to system path). I eventually gave up on windows and tried installing it on Ubuntu using WSL and although I was able to take care of the 'cairo' dependency somehow I'm still getting a no module named: 'pango'
I'm unable to find a pango in Pypi or anywhere else.

This is extremely frustrating. Please help me.

If you want to try using python3 (and pip3) you can take a look at my fork here. I fixed a few errors I was running into while trying to get it working, and moved everything to python3. You'll need to install python3 and pip3, and install these dependencies from pip3 (hdlparse pycairo pygobject). From there, you should be able to do python3 ./symbolator.py and have it either find a *.vhdl file or it'll say Please provide a proper input file. Make sure if you're using python3 though that you're installing everything from pip3 and not pip. If it's still unable to find pango, try installing libpango-1.0-0 from apt (I couldn't find a pango build for windows, sorry). If you run into any errors, please let me know, as it's possible I missed something. This was tested on Ubuntu 18.04.4.

Hi @nobodywasishere!

First of all thanks a lot for replying. I was able to get this to work after installing gir1.2-pango-1.0 from apt, in addition to everything you mentioned. This was pointed out in some other git issue. Before that I was getting a ValueError: Namespace PangoCairo not available message. I'm on ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I wish It worked on windows tho :(

Thank you!
