FYI,

Compiling on solaris 9, 
src/cairo-xlib-xrender.h
needs more includes besides #include <X11/extensions/Xrender.h>
else types undefined
e.g. tons of:
/usr/openwin/include/X11/Xutil.h:117: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'Bool'
 

this works for me:
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/extensions/Xrender.h>

Then cairo builds.

To do make check, perf/Makefile linking needs -lrt for sched_yield
...

then some passes, various fails...

FAIL: check-def.sh

2 of 4 tests failed

1 of 1 tests failed

All 1 tests passed
PASS: check-headers.sh
PASS: check-cairoint.sh
