           Summary: build breaks on compilation after successful
                    configuration
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.4.10
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
               URL: http://www.niceties.it/cairo_build.html
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: cworth at cworth.org
        ReportedBy: sick_soul at yahoo.it

Hello,

I am reporting a build failure, after successful configuration
on Debian on x86-64, using a custom prefix and --disable-png and
--disable-xlib-xrender

First the absence of zlib.h broke the build, even though configuration
says it is necessary only for some features:

cairo-ps-surface.c:50:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

After installing zlib, and thus making zlib.h available in $includedir,
the compilation continues, but a similar problem happens with the xrender
extension:

cairo-xlib-xrender.h:45:36: error: X11/extensions/Xrender.h: No such file or
di\
rectory

I would suggest that if cairo requires zlib and xrender to be compiled
successfully, the build system should detect such problems and configure time,
and not break during compilation.

Please follow the URL for full configure output and full make output
for both steps (step 1:without zlib, step2:with zlib installed)

Claudio Fontana
