Hi Brian, I'm not sure how dependent is wxPython on Cairo, if it's recommended as '0' but they enable it, may by it's needed. But it's just a feeling, 0-knowledge.
Do you have some branch for this that I could replicate and play around to figure out what's happening? or it's tested manually at the moment? Also a binary package (with some debug info) could do the trick for me I'd like to trace that wxpython init call down, and find where does it stop (and why). Thanks a lot for your effort, Mike, 2012/10/27 Brian Sidebotham <[email protected]> > On 27 October 2012 08:16, Lorenzo Marcantonio > <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 10:03:17PM +0100, Brian Sidebotham wrote: > >> > Not sure if it's possible to remove the Cairo dependency in > wxPython may > >> > be it's worth trying. > > > > No you can't (under unix at least). wxPython uses wxWidget which is > > based on gtk. > > > > gtk needs cairo for drawing the widgets. > > > > So cairo has to stay XD > > > > Also I'd suggest svg for web stuff since it's imaging model is almost > > the same and it's client rendered... > > > > Under Windows, removing Cairo should be fine.
