Description Dima 2009-09-11 08:38:41 UTC

I'm talking about --enable-trace option.

In the configure.ac it depends on have_ld variable which is set to yes on *-linux* and *-*bsd* hosts since they support LD_PRELOAD enviromental variable.

On Mac's there is DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES enviromental variable which can be used similar to LD_PRELOAD

Hopefully you will be able to --enable-trace on macs as well. This is a wishlist bug    I'll use --disable-trace for now. I really don't know anything about cairo i'm trying to compile gtk program =)

Patch to enable cairo-trace on MacOS X

This patch makes cairo-trace a shared library instead of a module.
I don't know if there are good reasons to have it as a module, but it looks like modules cannot be preloaded in MacOS X.
Only tested on MacOS 10.5. Please check it doesn't break cairo-trace on linux (or bsd/solaris, it should be the same) before committing.
