[Mono-list] compiling libgdiplus

Seems to me like you might be missing one (or more) of the build tool chain.

That clears things up quite a bit!  I didn't know that!  So, now that I know
where it is looking for the source, I checked and the error message is
exactly correct - there is no configure file in the cairo directory under
the libgdiplus directory.  SO... I checked in SVN
(http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/libgdiplus/cairo/) and configure is
not there either (I thought maybe I just had gotten a bad cvs version).  

Now the question is, which of these is the problem?  Should there be a
configure file in CVS and it is missing or am I doing something wrong to
make it look for the configure file that shouldn't be there?   

Thanks,
Greg

The cairo source is in the libgdiplus directory. You do not need to install
a version of cairo for libgdiplus to work. 

I can't remember what else I did to get libgdiplus built (I did it initially
a few months ago). If you send me the output from ./configure in the cairo
directory, I'll take a look. Else, we'll have to wait for an expert to
answer.

Hi Jonathan, 

It appears that the freetype package has installed to /usr/lib/pkgconfig.  I
typed echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to check and got a blank line, so I guess
nothing was defined there.  So, I typed export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig to set it up and tried it again, and I
still get the same error message.  Is it possible that it can't find the
cairo source?  Is there a set location where that should be or some way for
me to tell the configure command where to look for it?  

Thanks,
Greg

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?

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
