Hi,
I am trying to compile latest cairo library on ubuntu "hardy" 8.04. I am a newbie on linux and my c/c++ skills are some what limited.
Once cairo is build, I have to build pyCairo 1.8.8 to use with wxPython.
So far I am able to build pixman only. Here are the commands
# build pixman from sources
wget http://www.cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.18.0.tar.gz
tar xvf pixman-0.18.0.tar.gz
cd pixman-0.18.0
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
# create this env var to point out "pixman-1.pc" path
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/prashant/installed/pixman-0.18.0
# create symbolic links
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/pixman-1/pixman.h
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/pixman-1/pixman-version.h
# build cairo from sources
wget http://www.cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.8.8.tar.gz
tar xvf cairo-1.8.8.tar.gz
cd cairo-1.8.8
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
In the end of "make", I am getting this error:
libtool: link: cannot find the library `..//home/prashant/installed/pixman-0.18.0/pixman/libpixman-1.la' or unhandled argument `..//home/prashant/installed/pixman-0.18.0/pixman/libpixman-1.la'
File "/libpixman-1.la" is present in the directory.
I would appreciate if some one point out the problem.
Cheers
Prashant
