Hi,
BTW, I fear that it's practically impossible
(means: takes a too huge amount of work) to
build a static lib of cairo due to its
numerous dependencies.
Actually, I did it last week :) I wanted to try cairo meta surface which
is implemented in new 1.9.4 snapshot (not release). Cairo has
Makefile.Win32, but it is for MSVC only. I've tried to use mingw. It
requires msys. It was the first time I've installed msys and (to my
surprise) I've got shell similar to cygwin. Later I've tried to run
"configure" and "make", use switches like --without-svg, install some
packages, etc.
The final step by step cook receipt is:
1) Install mingw using TDM's GCC into c:/mingw
2) gunzip http://cairographics.org/snapshots/cairo-1.9.4.tar.gz into c:/
3) Install msys-1.0.11.exe (from MinGW) into c:/msys
4) gunzip
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config_0.23-3_win32.zip
into c:/mingw (not into c:/msys !!!)
5) gunzip
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.22/glib_2.22.2-1_win32.zip
into c:/mingw
6) gunzip
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/libpng-dev_1.2.39-1_win32.zip
into c:/mingw
7) gunzip libz-1.2.3-1-mingw32-dev.tar.gz (from Mingw zlib) into
c:/mingw (http://www.zlib.net/zlib123-dll.zip is not good for this, it
is for MSVC)
8) gunzip http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.17.2.tar.gz into c:/
9) msys> cd /c/pixman-0.17.2
10) msys> ./configure
11) msys> make install
12) Copy c:/msys/pixman-1/* to c:/mingw (it should be installed into
c:/mingw)
13) msys> cd /c/cairo-1.9.4
14) msys> ./configure
15) msys> make
16) Bingo! c:/cairo-1.9.4/src/.libs/libcairo-2.dll exists! Can be
stripped to make 2495KB -> 473 KB.
The most magic part was running ./configure. Looks more sophisticated
than linux boot messages on the screen :)
