Hi Bill: First, make sure our cairo device driver (that contains all sorts of devices including memcairo) works. If your list of devices in the cmake output includes any device with "cairo" in the name, then that means our build system has found the development version pango/cairo libraries needed by our cairo device driver. Otherwise, look for any WARNING messages in your cmake output having to do with pango/cairo and deal with them (normally by installing the developer version of pango and cairo, cleaning out your build tree, and trying again). Once some "*cairo" devices are available, then make the memcairo device available using the cmake option -DPLD_memcairo=ON. Hi Hazen: The rest of this is directed to you. There is a note in cmake/modules/drivers-init.cmake that says "memcairo does not work so turn it off by default". Does memcairo actually work now? If so, you should remove that note, and turn memcairo on by default just like our other cairo devices so that users don't have to use -DPLD_memcairo=ON to access it.
