%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Cairo-&cairo-version; Cairo Introduction to Cairo Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, win32, image buffers, PostScript, PDF and SVG. Experimental backends include OpenGL, Quartz and XCB file output. Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (e.g., through the X Render Extension). The Cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in Cairo include stroking and filling cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.). &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &cairo-md5sum; Download size: &cairo-size; Estimated disk space required: &cairo-buildsize; Estimated build time: &cairo-time; Additional Downloads Required patch (if you intend to compile any Mozilla products): Cairo Dependencies Required , and Recommended and Optional , DirectFB, , , , , Skia and Valgrind User Notes: Installation of Cairo Install Cairo by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../cairo-&cairo-version;-expose_snapshot-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-tee \ --enable-xcb \ --disable-static && make This package does not have a working testsuite. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations : This switch enables Cairo's experimental tee surface which is required by some packages like Firefox. : This switch enables Cairo's XCB surface which is required by some packages. : This switch enables Cairo's experimental OpenGL surface which is required for Wayland and some other packages that are not part of BLFS.
