-Dependencies
-============
-The set of libraries needed to compile cairo depends on which backends
-are enabled when cairo is configured. Here are the dependencies for
-each backend:
-
-Surface backends:
-
- image backend (required)
- ------------------------
- pixman http://cairographics.org/releases
- or: git://git.cairographics.org/git/pixman
-
- glitz backend
- -------------
- glitz >= 0.4.4 http://freedesktop.org/Software/glitz
-
- pdf backend
- -----------
- freetype >= 2.1.4 http://freetype.org
- zlib http://www.gzip.org/zlib
-
- postscript backend
- ------------------
- freetype >= 2.1.4 http://freetype.org
- zlib http://www.gzip.org/zlib
-
- quartz backend
- --------------
- [*]
-
- win32 backend
- -------------
- [*]
-
- xcb backend
- -----------
- XCB http://xcb.freedesktop.org
-
- xlib backend
- ------------
- Xrender >= 0.6 http://freedesktop.org/Software/xlibs
-
- beos backend
- ------------
- No dependencies in itself other than an installed BeOS system, but cairo
- requires a font backend. See the freetype dependency list.
-
- os2 backend
- -----------
- Cairo should run on any recent version of OS/2 or eComStation, but it
- requires a font backend. See the freetype dependency list. Ready to use
- packages and developer dependencies are available at Netlabs:
- ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/cairo
-
-Font backends:
-
- freetype font backend
- ---------------------
- freetype >= 2.1.4 http://freetype.org
- fontconfig http://fontconfig.org
-
- win32 font backend
- ------------------
- [*]
-
- atsui font backend
- ------------------
- [*]
-
- [*] I don't know specifically what packages might need to be
- installed on a Mac OS X system to use the Quartz and ATSUI
- backends. As far as win32, the situation is rather complex:
-
- The Win32 backend should work on Windows 2000 and newer
- (excluding Windows Me.) Most testing has been done on
- Windows XP. While some portions of the code have been
- adapted to work on older versions of Windows, considerable
- work still needs to be done to get cairo running in these
- environments.
-
- Cairo can be compiled on Windows either with the GCC
- toolchain (see http://www.mingw.org) or with Microsoft
- Visual C++. Makefiles or project files for compiling with
- MSVC are however not provided as of this release. We have
- received reports that MSVC 6.0 compiles parts of cairo
- incorrectly, (leading to incorrect color). MSVC 7.0 is
- known to work.

Compiling
