But I'm a little bit lost in building the library on Win32. Maybe someone can contribute a <a href="http://VS.NET">VS.NET</a> workspace with all libraries needed? The build instructions on <a href="http://cairographics.org/win32">http://cairographics.org/win32</a> aren't really helpfull. Would be nice to have at least some simple build instructions... 1) What to download. 2) How to compile. Thanks in advance, Sascha. _______________________________________________ cairo mailing list <a href="mailto:cairo@cairographics.org">cairo@cairographics.org</a> <a href="http://cairographics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cairo">http://cairographics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cairo</a> </blockquote></div> -- - Boris
