Absolutely, but I don't know. One thing I remembered is that you may not want to override the default cairo CFLAGS. By default, they add -fno-strict-aliasing, but you lose this if the CFLAGS are set in the environment. This came up recently on the cairo list with one of the Mandriva developers. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2007-March/009979.html This is probably a bug in their packaging, but I'd be interested to know if the test failures are associated with this. Actually, this looks like it's fixed to pass -fno-strict-aliasing correctly, but using the default CFLAGS would still be interesting. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
