Dear list, I have raised an issue on the Cairo mailing list, who have referred me here. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to incorporate Pango-Cairo rendering into a cross-platform project. Windows XP is a target platform for the project, so I am building against the GTK+ 2.24.10 Bundle (20120208). N.B. This is a C/C++ implementation. The problem I'm having is that no Cairo backend contexts are rendering pixels to their surfaces in my main project's EXE, but are working as expected in a small demo project's EXE. I followed this guide to setting up my VS 2015 projects: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15906580/how-to-configure-gtk-on-visual- studio-2010 The significant difference between the structure of the functioning demo project and the main project is that the main project's EXE does not call the GTK+ API directly, but is dependent on a custom static library that is built against the GTK+ libs/dlls. i.e. GTK+ 2 API calls are made in the functions of the custom static library, whose functions are called in-turn by the main project's EXE. When building the static library, I receive the following linker warnings that do not appear when building the demo EXE: 1>gdk-win32-2.0.lib(libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll) : warning LNK4006: __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR already defined in gtk-win32-2.0.lib(libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll);
