That is right, but Doodle has a good point there. How is the user supposed
to _know_ that he has to #define the necessary macros before including
cairo-os2.h? If he defines none of too few he might get really weird error
messages that can take long to track down. (Especially since it worked
without those #defines in user code until now.)
The problematic checkin said
"Test that every cairo private header includes some other cairo
header before any other includes."
That would still be correct when only moving the cairo-os2.h line down as
Dave suggested.
That said, I can't build cairo to test any of the changes. I get
cairo-analysis-surface.c
In file included from cairoint.h:2365,
from cairo-analysis-surface.c:37:
cairo-region-private.h:50: error: parse error before "pixman_region32_t"
cairo-region-private.h:50: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
cairo-analysis-surface.c:55: error: field `supported_region' has incomplete type
with the 1.8.2 package (using pixman 0.12.0).
