Description Sebastien Pouliot 2008-04-16 06:03:58 UTC 
Libgdiplus builds its copy of Cairo by disabling the PNG, SVG and PDF (unrequired) backend but keeping the PS backend (for printing). This worked without problem in the 1.4.x versions.

Now it seems that the PS backend needs (at least) the cairo/src/cairo-pdf-operators[.c|-private.h] files to build correctly but they are only included in the build if the PDF backend is enabled.

../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_show_glyphs'
../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_fill'
../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_clip'
../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_init'
../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_stroke'
../src/.libs/libgdiplus.so: undefined reference to `_mono_cairo_pdf_operators_set_cairo_to_pdf_matrix'

note: symbols were renamed inside libgdiplus to avoid problems with applications linking with the system cairo.

    [Makefile.am] Add cairo-pdf-operators*.[ch] to ps_sources
    
    The postscript backends depends upon cairo-pdf-operators.c, so list it
    as a requirement in ps_sources. This enables the postscript backend to
    build even if the pdf backend is disable by the user during configure.
    
    (Fixes http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15532.)

    [Makefile.am] Fix breakage in previous commit.
    
    I checked with --disable-pdf and with --disable-ps, but forgot to
    check with them both enabled. D'oh.
