pangomm is the official C++ interface for the Pango font layout library. See, for instance, the Pango::Layout class.
Include the pangomm header:
 #include <pangomm.h>
 This includes every header installed by pangomm, so can slow down compilation, but suffices for this simple example. Assuming that your program source file is program.cc, compile it with: 
g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs pangomm-1.4`
 Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in configure.ac: 
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([PANGOMM], [pangomm-1.4])
 Then use the generated PANGOMM_CFLAGS and PANGOMM_LIBS variables in the project Makefile.am files. For example: 
program_CPPFLAGS = $(PANGOMM_CFLAGS) program_LDADD = $(PANGOMM_LIBS)
