This could be NOTABUG and just a limitation of our currently over-strict test rig. See the following note from cairo/INSTALL: When cairo is compiled, you can also run some automated tests of cairo with: make check NOTE: Some versions of X servers will cause the -xlib tests to report failures in make check even when cairo is working just fine. If you see failures in nothing but -xlib tests, please examine the corresponding -xlib-out.png images and compare them to the -ref.png reference images (the -xlib-diff.png images might also be useful). If the results seem "close enough" please do not report a bug against cairo as the "failures" you are seeing are just due to subtle variations in X server implementations. Can you follow those instructions and report back? (And if someone can figure out a way to get that printed when the test suite fails, that would be great.) -Carl Carl, Will do.... BTW, I love your last comment [:-)] -Joseph Created attachment 5045 [details]

Carl,
A picture is worth one thousand words. This attachment contains the *diff.png
files generated by running 'make check'.

Doing a mass close of old make check failures. Thank you for taking the time to build and test cairo on your platform, it is most appreciated. So much has changed in the few years since these reports have been filed (and so little - we've still to integrate fonts within the test suite, though we do now have a viable alternative) that acting upon the information contained within is difficult. We have bold plans during the next development phase to improve the test suite further, which I hope will lead to more timely identification of failures and regressions (possibly even pinpointing bad patches). Again, thanks and please do let us know if we can improve cairo for you. |
