Admittedly, I am a C developer and when it comes to assembly, using definitions from "Kung-fu Panda" - "there is now a level zero". But, I can definitely try things and provide feedback, as well as help with the build in any way I can.
Cairo and pixman do quite a bit to be compatible with various systems. I think considering the amount of iHardware out there it would be beneficial for many to get it working properly. --M _______________________________________________ Pixman mailing list Pixman@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pixman
