[cairo] building cairo (was Re: 1.10 release schedule)

Sat Jan 9 13:44:46 PST 2010

Yes. Just now on a fresh XP install. Here's my "journal":

-------------------------------------
Fresh XP SP3 install.
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Download and install MSYS.
The link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download
didn't work.

So I found MSYS-1.0.11.exe here (even though there was a MSYS-1.0.12.exe available):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/msys-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download

Installed msys into c:\msys
Did post-install
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Install MSVC++ Express 2008
Done.
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Install CURL
Link was bad: http://www.paehl.com/open_source/index.php?CURL_7.19.6
So I had to download: http://www.paehl.com/open_source/index.php?CURL_7.19.7
Installed CURL to c:\curl
Added c:\curl to PATH
Restarted Windows
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Open a command shell/Setup environment

Open cmd32.exe failed. No such file.
Opening cmd.exe
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys\bin
"%VS90COMNTOOLS%/vsvars32.bat"
Success.
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Create/Clean/Set Build Directory
set ROOTDIR=%USERPROFILE%\BuildCairo
above does not work. You have to add quotes.
set ROOTDIR="%USERPROFILE%\BuildCairo"
Success.
-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------
Download and untar tarballs
curl http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz -o zlib.tgz
curl ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.2.40.tar.gz -o libpng.tgz
LIBPNG DOWNLOAD FAILED with error 550
Closest I could find was libpng-1.2.42.tar.gz ...
curl ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/libpng/png/src/libpng-1.2.42.tar.gz -o libpng.tgz

curl http://www.cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.16.2.tar.gz -o pixman.tgz
curl http://www.cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.8.8.tar.gz -o cairo.tgz

Untared/renamed the archives/folders.

Success. Guess I could add it to the path later.

sed /RuntimeLibrary=/s/2/0/ zlib.vcproj > fixed.vcproj

Hmm.. WTF is up with my PATHs?

Adding to PATH again.. Restarting Windows..

cd %ROOTDIR%
cd pixman/pixman
make -f Makefile.win32 "CFG=release"
Setting MMX flag to default value 'on'... (use MMX=on or MMX=off)
