Thanks, but I guess you are over-estimating my knowledge by a factor of 100 or so ;-) My confusion already starts with the content of the cairo tar archive. It contains a directory "cairo-1/5/12" and a file "cairo-1/5/12/tar/gz". If I unpack the file the content seems to be almost identical but I do not understand where the difference is. Then I guess I have to compile cairo first using GCC. I only have GCC installed and I can probably manage to execute a make file. If I do so, do I end up with one binary? As far as I understand cairo uses some kind of script file which contains the description of a drawing and executes that file outputting the result in a chosen format. How do I load this script then into cairo? Something like *cairo script-path output-path or so? I would like to use cairo to output vector graphics that make use of transparency and colour fades etc. which can not be handled by the draw format. So instead I would like to produce a cairo script, process it with cairo and save it as pdf/svg/png or any other supported format. Will this probably work with this port of cairo or am I to optimistic?
