Description John Berger 2005-10-26 08:00:00 UTC

When attempting to compile Cairo v1.0.2 on Solaris 9 (SPARC), it refuses to
recognize that Freetype v2.1.10 is installed.  I installed and compiled Freetype
from source code as well.  As a result, PDF and PS backends are disabled.  It
also does not recognize X libraries even though they've been in
/usr/openwin/lib/X11 on Solaris for years.

Fontconfig will not compile on Solaris 9 due to a libiconv error, but I'll
create another bug report (if necessary) for that.

Comment 1 John Berger 2005-10-26 08:51:40 UTC

Looks like cairo does not recognize FreeType unless FontConfig is installed. 
This is a somewhat deceptive message because FreeType IS installed.  Although
the message at the bottom says to install both FreeType and FontConfig, the
"following font backends" section makes it seem as though the dependency is on
FreeType when in reality it is on FontConfig.  (I'm assuming that this is the
reality of it because (A) FontConfig has a dependency on FreeType and (B) Cairo
was suddenly very happy once FontConfig was compiled and installed.)

Please change "the following font backends" display to stress a dependecy on
FontConfig, not FreeType.

  Quartz:     no

  ATSUI:      no

Any hints?

This has been long fixed.
