Hi Peter, > Hello Tobias.

Yes, that is why the checks were dropped. > Then why don't you drop this installation instructions as if > somebody have cairo installed everything else will be installed > too? The build instructions cover all parts you need to install so that you can build rrdtool this includes png and zlib ... > Also I think it's better to notice explicitly that cairo > should be built with svg support, isn't? At least build of > rrdtool when cairo is built without svg support fails... I think there is such a check in configure ... > Can I assume that versions of libraries in commented lines of > configure.ac are correct? I'd like to set minimal versions for rrdtool > in Gentoo thus I'm going to take values from that commented lines... well these are just the last versions I tested with. Since I do not access png/zlib functionality directly, the minimal requirements would be defined by cairo, libxml, freetype who use zlib > Typos: > > line 10: thrid -> third > line 82: a a -> a > line 107: woking -> working > line 137: environamen variable -> environment variables > line 146: LDFLAG -> LDFLAGS > line 147: Unfortunatly -> Unfortunately > line 175: otherwhise -> otherwise > line 207: likley -> likely > line 248: changeing -> changing thanks > > Addition to section "INSTALLING DEPENDENCIES".
