Hi Kalle, thanks for your report. Yes, I didn't expect much. The 770 has no FPU, and libcairo seems to do lots of floating point arithmetics. But my app will render an image in the background and is not time critical, so this is not my major concern. I'll give it a try. > My benchmarking app was not too > optimized though, and I now am pretty sure it didn't relfect the > actual Cairo performance so I think it's worth a shot to try it. I'm mainly interested in cairo's quality and abilities, and I want my app to be portable. > Specially since the latest Cairo should perform much better than the > one I tested it with.

Cairo can be compiled in the SDK quite well. It just doesn't perform all that well on the device. I tested it a bit some time ago, and didn't get too engouraging results. My benchmarking app was not too optimized though, and I now am pretty sure it didn't relfect the actual Cairo performance so I think it's worth a shot to try it. Specially since the latest Cairo should perform much better than the one I tested it with. It all depends how performance-critical your app is really. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] libcairo in maemo
Hi, I'd like to write an application that uses libcairo. To make it clearer, I want to use libcairo directly, I don't need GTK with libcairo support! Did anybody compile libcairo for the 770? Is it possible? Any other hints? Cheers, Hans ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
