[cairo] Help compiling Cairo-1.12.0 for the PS3

[Nacho Man]

Hello, thanks for the reply.   I actually figured that out last night around 2 in the morning.  I modified the Makefile.in and Makefile.am file in the cairo-1.12.0/test and perf directory.  I commented out the "noinst_PROGRAMS = cairo-test-suite$(EXEEXT) # always build" line and was successfully able to compile the cairo for the PS3.   I thought it'd work with the latest (cairo-1.12.16) and I had mixed results.   It did skip the test-suite.   However, it's still trying to compile the code in the perf directory.  I am making progress though.  I decided to go to bed last night and continue working on it today.  I'll keep ya posted if I figure it out.  If anyone has any ideas as to why in 1.12.0 commenting out the noinst_PROGRAMS works for the perf directory but not in the 1.12.16 version, please let me know.   And thanks again!

This is due to the following commit:

    test: Always compile cairo-test-suite

    I'm tired of having to explicitly type make cairo-test-suite.

There doesn't seem to be any easy way to not build the test suite currently.

Assuming you only want the cairo library, you could try only calling "make" (and
perhaps "make install"?) in the src/ subdirectory.

Uli
