I can catch this one as I'm just now installing Firefox.

Has anyone tried building (and using) Firefox with system-installed Cairo? I know it has been broken and I don't see anything that shows that it would work with the version 19 of Firefox.

Unless someone can confirm that Firefox-19.0 works with system installed Cairo, I will leave the instructions to use the in-tree version of Cairo.

Firefox 19 fails to build for me when using --enable-system-cairo with the following error:

/sources/mozilla-release/gfx/thebes/gfxPlatform.cpp: In member function ‘virtual mozilla::RefPtr<mozilla::gfx::SourceSurface> gfxPlatform::GetSourceSurfaceForSurface(mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget*, gfxASurface*)’:
/sources/mozilla-release/gfx/thebes/gfxPlatform.cpp:655:53: error: ‘cairo_null_surface_create’ was not declared in this scope
/sources/mozilla-release/gfx/thebes/gfxPlatform.cpp:660:95: error: ‘cairo_surface_attach_snapshot’ was not declared in this scope

I'm using cairo 1.12.14.

The attachment is from debian - instead of altering cairo they alter firefox/xulrunner. I've used it with ff18 and it seems to work, but I don't have a list of the past problems so I can't say for certain that it solves them.

I tried the patch and it does the same as expose_snapshot patch for Cairo does - it breaks some flash stuff/images on certain sites, I don't remember the URLs right now.

Just leave it with internal cairo.

Agreed : I'm now running firefox with the included cairo, and some video links that always came up black before now seem to work. Thanks for that comment, I didn't know you had tried it.

Not sure if anything else needs cairo tee.

I do not believe there is from what I've read. And if that is the case, we should probably dump the --enable-tee from the Cairo instructions as it is experimental.

Hello, any progress on this one? I can take it if you don't mind ... I'll be upgrading Thunderbird tomorrow ...

[Randy McMurchy]

I already have changes in my sandbox. Please don't modify the file. I will be committing it today.

[Armin K]

Please commit any changes you've made, I'll be upgrading to 19.0.2 shortly so I don't destroy any of your work.

[Armin K]

I've just changed md5sums, tarball sizes and build sizes to match my setup - 64bit LFS and system libs.

Updated to 19.0.2 in r11078.

I hope I didn't screw up any of your changes - unless they were md5sums/{download,build} size only changes like mine.
