Description Simon Urbanek 2005-12-19 06:24:20 UTC 
Win32 build requires cairo.def to be present in the build directory, but Makefile does not ensure that it 
is the case:

Making all in src
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link mingw32-gcc  -g -O2   -o libcairo.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -
version-info 4:3:2 -no-undefined -export-symbols cairo.def cairo.lo cairo-arc.lo ...
libtool: link: symbol file `cairo.def' does not exist

Fix:
Either copy cairo.def from the source directory or change the libtool invocation to use source path

Build dateials:
cross-compile for Win32 using mingw32
../cairo-1.0.2/configure --host=mingw32

A long time ago, in commit 46dd21e795549481d9db8d90c399e683ef1205c7, Tor Lillqvist added the magic for autogenerating cairo.def. However, that was part of cairo-1.0.2, and the relatively minor changes Behdad has made since would not seem to explain why it currently works in master.

* checks out 1.0.2 into his cross-compilation env...

Hmm, seems that cairo.def was correctly remade. Oh well, I'll just accept that the bug is obsolete.
