Hello everybody, this is my first post to the BLFS community so if I messed something up sorry :)
I finished installing LFS 7.0 without any problems (build with Debian 6 as host) and went straigth to BLFS (Version 2011-11-29) to X-window install chapter. I got to MesaLib, which requires libdrm. Libdrm requires cairo, and cairo requires pixman. The book provides a link to http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.15.20.tar.gz, but it doesn't exist. As I wanted to follow the book I found the exact version on lfs page, installed it without problems and went back to cairo. Cairo, during configuration, stated: checking whether cairo's image surface backend feature could be enabled... no (requires pixman-1 >= 0.18.4 http://cairographics.org/releases/) configure: error: mandatory image surface backend feature could not be enabled So I just wanted to mention this fact. I installed the newest version available at cairographics.org (rigth now it's http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.24.0.tar.gz) and on LFS 7.0 everything went ok (just one warning about a variable set but not being used, for the curious ones: CC lowlevel-blt-bench.o lowlevel-blt-bench.c: In function 'bench_L': lowlevel-blt-bench.c:155:18: warning: variable 'qx' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Also, didn't issue the make check since I didn't install gtk+, but cairo and metalib got installed fine. Again, didn't "make -k check" on cairo since it says that many tests fail for unknown reasons, so didn't see the purpose). Hope it helps. -- Rafal -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
