Build Cairo on Windows, Step #1

Pierre-Alain Joye writes "while trying to get the Cairo PHP binding ready to be released, I finally sit down and port Wez build 'cscript' to Cairo. It still needs some cleanup, a nice summary message but it works already. I tested it with Visual C++ Express Edition but it should work with other versions as well".

Add the missing directory and files:

  • Windows directory, it contains all development files required to compile Cairo with png, ps, pdf, freetype2 and win32 support
  • buildconf.bat, generates the configure.js script
  • conf.bat, convenient batch to call the configure script, modify it to fit your wishes
If you like to define additional paths for the libraries or includes, use the with-extra-includes and with-extra-libs. These options accept absolute path and will automatically add them. To change the location of the default cairo_build directory, use the with-cairo-build option, he writes. Pierre also requests you to post queries and suggestions on the mailing lists.
