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 ========= See the INSTALL document for build instructions. -- cgit v1.2.3
