[Mono-list] compiling libgdiplus

[Jonathan S. Chambers]

Greg,
	I build libgdiplus on RHEL 3. I had the same problem as you, and
I installed freetype/fontconfig. Is the directory where the
fontconfig.pc file is located in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

Subject: [Mono-list] compiling libgdiplus

I am trying to compile libgdiplus on redhat enterprise linux 3.   I have
already compiled and installed the latest mono from svn.  When I type
./configure in the libgdiplus source directory, I get the following:  

configure: configuring in cairo
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
--cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: /bin/sh ./configure failed for cairo


I have downloaded the cairo 1.0.2 source code and placed it in the same
directory as the libgdiplus source (ie.  they are both in the directory
called trunk so the path is /trunk/libgdiplus and /trunk/cairo-1.0.2)  

When I change to the cairo directory and run ./configure, I get the
following: 

cairo will be compiled with the following surface backends:
  Xlib: yes
  Quartz: no
  XCB: no
  Win32: no
  PostScript: no
  PDF: no
  glitz: no
 
the following font backends:
  FreeType: no
  Win32: no
  ATSUI: no
 
and the following features:
  PNG functions: no
configure: error: Cairo requires at least one font backend.
                  Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try
again:
                  http://freetype.org/  http://fontconfig.org/



I went to freetype.org to download the code - grabbed freetype-2.1.10
and compiled and installed it.  When I run.configure again for cairo, I
get the same error message.  

SO, I went back and downloaded the fontconfig.org file -
fontconfig-2.3.2, and compiled and installed it.  Finally, it says that
freetype is installed when I run ./configure  in the cairo directory.  

So, I went back to the libgdiplus directory and ran ./configure again.
I get the same error message: 
configure: configuring in cairo
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
--cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: /bin/sh ./configure failed for cairo

I even tried to run ./autogen.sh and it gave me: 
configure: configuring in cairo
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
'--enable-maintainer -mode' '--enable-compile-warnings'
--cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
./configure: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: /bin/sh ./configure failed for cairo

So, finally, I thought that if I just installed Cairo, it might work
without having to do this, so I ran make and make install in the cairo
directory and tried again.  No luck.  

Can someone tell me what I am missing to get this to compile and
install?  I am trying to get this done and working for a proof of
concept for a client on Friday to show them that Mono on Linux is a
feasible option, but am not having any luck with it so far.  

Thanks, 
Greg
