Can you explain? What do I need to do to "compile check"? This bug, based on your patch, is preventing a Windows Gimp 2.9 build. I read on Gthumb site (<a href="https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-August/msg06083.html">https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-August/msg06083.html</a>) advocating that cairo_surface_create_similar_image() not be used. If I follow that advice and modify gimpdisplayxfer.c thusly: // cairo_surface_create_similar_image (cairo_get_target (cr), // CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, w, h); cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, w, h); it seems to compile and work fine on Windows. Is this a viable solution or should I try something else?
