[cairo] Building on Windows part 2

[Thorgrimsson, Chris]

You will need to append the paths to all the various libs that the
linker will need. Append to CAIRO_LIBS for Makefile.win32.common. I have
pasted a large chunk from my version of the file that shows the hard
coded paths I used. I am sure there is a better way to do this than hard
coding the paths, but this way my quick and dirty way to keep the linker
happy.


CAIRO_LIBS = 'D:/Program Files/Microsoft
SDKs\Windows/v7.0/Lib/gdi32.lib'
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/Program Files/Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0/Lib/msimg32.lib'
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/Program Files/Microsoft
SDKs/Windows/v7.0/Lib/user32.lib'

ifeq ($(CAIRO_HAS_PNG_FUNCTIONS),1)
ifeq ($(CFG),release)
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/My Documents/Visual Studio
2008/Projects/Cairo/libpng-1.2.40/projects/visualc71/Win32_LIB_Release/l
ibpng.lib'
ifeq ($(CFG),debug)
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/My Documents/Visual Studio
2008/Projects/Cairo/libpng-1.2.40/projects/visualc71/Win32_LIB_Debug/lib
pngd.lib'
endif
endif
endif

ifeq ($(CAIRO_HAS_PS_SURFACE)$(CAIRO_HAS_PDF_SURFACE),00)
else
ifeq ($(CFG),release)
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/My Documents/Visual Studio
2008/Projects/Cairo/libpng-1.2.40/projects/visualc71/Win32_LIB_Release/Z
Lib/zlib.lib'
ifeq ($(CFG),debug)
CAIRO_LIBS += 'D:/My Documents/Visual Studio
2008/Projects/Cairo/libpng-1.2.40/projects/visualc71/Win32_LIB_Debug/ZLi
b\zlibd.lib'
endif
endif
endif

Thanks to any who replied to my queries for help.

I chose to go with the wiki page description. I edited the wiki to  
clarify one or two of the steps.

At this point, I've got zlib, libpng, and pixman all built. It all  
seemed to go OK.

The instructions for building cairo say to run:
run make -f Makefile.win32 static CFG=debug (or release)

Which I did, and it compiles. But when it's done, I have a .lib. Which  
I don't want, I don't think. I want a .dll. Peeking in Makefile.win32,  
I see that there's both a 'static' and a 'dynamic' rule, so I tried  
replacing static with dynamic. Unfortunately, I get an error then:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zdll.lib'
make: *** [release/cairo.dll] Error 2

I'm sure it's something simple, I don't do the makefile thing  
regularly, any help appreciated.

TIA
