I cannot fully understand what you mean. I have searched documentations and understand that BUILD_TYPE can control dependences. Can it pass some parameters to dmake through build.pl as well? ( I would appreciate it if you give me a pointer to the documentation. ) Or do you mean to unzip prebuilt cairo whenever available and otherwise do real build from the source tarball depending on the platform or switching between unzipping and real building by the dependencies (by splitting them into modules) ? Existing experimental cairo port seems to be requiring BUILD_CAIRO envionment variable to perform real build from the source tarbal. ---- Takashi Ono(HK Freak) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Personal Address, checked every morning/evening and holidays) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Address for business, checked every working days) http://www.hkfreak.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
