Re: GNUstep with Cairo backend problem

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Denis,

yes, this is a known problem :-)

You need to run the configure script with the option --disable-glitz. I
never did test the glitz code in the cairo backend and currently it is
not even compiled. Perhaps I could just reenable it and it would work,
but I don't expect that.

I am not quite sure if cairo 1.0.2 is current enough. The GNUstep code
uses a cairo function that was only inlcuded a month ago. or so. You
rather should try to get cairo from CVS and use that. And as far as I
remember pango currently doesn't get used. (Altough I would really like
to see this used in GNUstep)

Thank you for trying out the cairo backend. At the moment I am working
on image flipping and any help there would be appreciated.

Fred
