Arch Linux

nevermind, I must have stumbled on some not-so-up-to-date mirror which was causing problems, I tried compiling your PKGBUILD again today and all is fine.
Keep up the good work ;-)

Andrea

to Hador: could you explain it with more detail? I can compile it and I use this way to workaround another same type package(cairo-ubuntu) and it seems all right.

replace line:27 with

sed -i -e 's/libpng1[0-9]/libpng14/' ./configure || return 1

else this is going to cause a lot of problems, expecially compiling stuff due to a broken .pc

Updated. Sorry for my late response.

Can you bump the package release version to force a rebuild for the new libjpeg and libpng?

This needs an additional line taken from comment on http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16459:

sed -i -e 's/libpng13/libpng14/g' configure || return 1

just above the ./configure

I do specify per-font hinting in /etc/fonts/local.conf which cairo unfortunately does not honour [1], therefore gnome apps looks suboptimal. There is tiny patch to address this issue [2]. I tried to modify original PKGBUILD and it applies neatly and works like a charm.

- Fixed the provides problem. Sorry again.

I fixed it by changing provides=('cairo=${pkgver}') to provides=('cairo=1.8.8').

Hi leemars,
the provides clause is faulty again; back on single quotes instead of double...

fettouhi you can solve your problem by changing the clause in PKGBUILD to provides=("cairo=${pkgver}")

I get this warning with the new version (1.8.8) of cairo-cleartype

missing dependency for cairo-perl : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for cairomm : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for ghostscript : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for libgdiplus : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for pango : cairo>=1.8.8
missing dependency for poppler : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for pycairo : cairo>=1.8.6

- Updated to 1.8.8

I'm not sure whether the patch still worked. It haven't been updated for a long time and seems be deprecated.

is it possible for an updated version??

cairo 1.8.8. is out.

i created myself a newer version based on this pkgbuild by changing version and md5sums, but is the patch applied to this version?

Thanks! No biggie mate! Works.

- Updated to 1.8.6-3

Sorry for my stupid mistake..

After building I get:

loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Hi leemars,
the 'provides' clause is incorrect; you used the single quotes in place of double qoutes that allow shell expansion.

The correct syntax is provides=("cairo=$pkgver") as already done in the package libxft-cleartype.

Bye

After yaourt -Syu --aur I get:

missing dependency for cairomm : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for ghostscript : cairo>=1.8.6
missing dependency for libgdiplus : cairo>=1.8.6

missing dependency for ruby-rcairo : cairo>=1.2.0

Thanks for your advice!

- Minor update for PKGBUILD.

Hi leemars,
in the PKGBUILD about the patch command the source .diff is referenced from path ${startdir}/ instead of ${startdir}/src (or better ${srcdir}/ for src and ${pkgdir}/ for pkg directory).

And (as you do already in your other package libxft-cleartype) you should reference in the 'provides' clause the version by variable to avoid possible future version mismatch between package version and the clause as provides=("cairo=$pkgver")

Thanks for the useful package.

cipparello

- Bumped to 1.8.6

Cairo 1.8.6 is out.

Regards

André

oops.. Fixed. Sorry for my mistake. >.<

Question - should the provides=('cairo=1.8.0') in the current PKGBUILD be updated to provides=('cairo=1.8.4') now?

The X.Org 7.4 upgrade that went into extra today won't install because of a conflict between cairo and cairo-cleartype. They're both at version 1.8.4, so would updating the provides line in the -cleartype package fix this?

- Updated to 1.8.4

- Updated to 1.8.2

- Adjust the compile parameters.

I'm so sorry for that... :-(

I'll keep to upgrade these -cleartype packages. However, there are better choices such as -lcd packages, or -ubuntu packages, maybe.

Just choose for yourself.

Can you please stop writing whatever language is that? Here english should be the default language... ;)

freetype2（源里） + libxft-lcd（源里） + fontconfig （源里） + fontconfig-lcd（只是添加了一个必需的文本文件而已） + cairo-lcd。
所以真正需要自己编译的只有cairo。

我确认过-cleartype补丁和官方的效果上有区别。

编译参数是因为我没有及时跟进。

还请你说明一下，现在最好的方式是怎么搭配这几个库，用哪个版本的：libxft、cairo、freetype2、fontconfig。

首先我也没有针对你的意思，只是觉得没有必要搞那么多类似的东西。
其次我两者都用过，确实没什么区别。
你也完全可以将这个patch和官方（sir上有）的对比一下，缺失了很多必要部分。这样一来的话就没有什么卖点了。
还有，编译参数也不全（对比testing中的）。
freetype2-cleartype也是没有必要的，源里的最新版已经包含了lcd的补丁,你可以对比着看源码。

请仔细对比结果之后再发表言论。谢谢。

这个包以及相关的还有存在的必要么？类似的也太多了，lcd, gentoo, ubuntu等等，lcd那个比较官方，你的patch还那么陈旧。视觉上也没有任何区别。

- Version bumped to 1.8.0

- Updated to 1.6.4

Sorry for updating so late...

Are you going to release 1.6.4 version?

1.6.0 is out.

I suggest adding 'cairo=1.4.14' in provides section instead of 'cairo 1.4.14' (as eplained here: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2008-January/006727.html). Otherwise you get an "cairo conflicts with cairo-cleartype" error when updating some packages (firefox3 for example).

what's the diff between cairo-lcd and this one?

Updated to 1.4.14

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42219

Here is the thread and what seems to be the solution.

U need update the provides line with the version of the cairo package. Pacman 3.1, which was moved to core repo today, has now got version control support.

I guess I understood that to be the problem.

Updated to 1.4.12

I get the same error as the second post below mine. 'isspace' error, though I tried to follow his instructions to fix it and it still fails.

This does not work on every machine apparently.

I can confirm that this works with cario-1.4.10

Hello, there is one bug in the package. If you try to compile with makepkg, it return error:"cairo-type1-subset.c:376: error: implicit declaration of function 'isspace'"

To fix it:
1) run "makepkg -o"
2) open the file src/cairo-type1-subset.c, and include #include < ctype.h >
3) run "makepkg -e"

Now you can try to install it, with pacman -U.

Up to 1.4.0

Tested and working with Cairo 1.4.0

Upgrade cairo to 1.2.6

I\'ve never submitted a package but try this page:
http://aur.archlinux.org/pkgsubmit.php

if it doesn\'t work, post the tarball to the AUR mailing list and they\'ll definitely give you the instructions (and maybe do it for you)

I have changed PKGBUILD , how to upload ?

All that needs to happen is to change pkgver to 1.2.6 and update the md5sum for the new sources.

Thanks again for these great patches by te way!

I should upgrade packages when old one in trouble.

Yep, works with the latest Cairo version with minor changes to the PKGBUILD. Thanks for sharing all 3 of the cleartype-patches, they put a smile on my face. Fonts are finally looking as good as I want them to!

the patch applies just fine to cairo 1.2.6
