Description Wojtek Kulczycki 2007-11-17 08:42:18 UTC

Dear Cairo Community,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or is it configuration problem in my system (Suse 10.3 with kernel: 2.6.23.1). I'm trying to compile Mysql Query Browser, which needs cairo and cairomm libraries. I have downloaded those from opensuse.org site:

# rpm -qa | grep cairo

cairomm-1.2.2-85
cairo-devel-1.4.10-25
cairo-1.4.10-25
cairomm-devel-1.2.2-85
python-cairo-1.2.2-91

Then I was able to install some other dependencies (for instance libgtkhtml3.14). The problem starts when I try to compile mysql GUI query browser:

I have been trying to google for cairo_glitz_surface_create without much of a success.

I'm passing on this problem to you hoping that you might have already know it.
However let me apologize if this problem is not relevant for this list.

many thanks,
Wojtek

So this looks like a disagreement between the cairo-using code you're trying
to compile and the way cairo was configured when compiled for the opensuse packages.

> /usr/lib/libcairomm-1.0.so: undefined reference to `cairo_glitz_surface_create'

This means that the program you are using expects cairo's "glitz" backend to be configured/compiled in. But the opensuse packages you are using do not have the glitz backend enabled.

That packaging is actually expected, (the glitz backend is still "experimental" in cairo since the glitz library hasn't had been released with any API stability guarantee yet).

I'd suggest fixing the cairo-using code to test at compile time if the glitz backend is available. It can do this by using:

   #if CAIRO_HAS_GLITZ_SURFACE
      ... cairo-glitz code here
   #endif

Good luck!
