OpenSource]Hwo to build Cairo

1. Build Environment : Cent OS

2. Required package [you can download package using sudo apt-get install]

  - autoconf : make configuration file 

  - automake : create makefile using created configuration file 

  - libtool : support cross compile * originally, makefile does not consider cross compile

  - gettext

3. Download source codes with git

  - git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/cairo

  - git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/pixman.git

* To update source, you can use "git pull" command

4. Build source

  1) build pixman

    - In pixman folder, 

       a) run "./autogen.sh" to make config file and makefile

       b) run "make" to create obj files

       c) run "make install" to install shared object(=dll) on local PC [location : /usr/local/lib]

  

   2) build cairo  

    - In cairo folder, 

       a) run "./autogen.sh" to make config file and makefile

       b) run "make" to create obj files

       c) run "make install" to install shared object(=dll) on local PC [location : /usr/local/lib/cairo]

5. To run cairo using created library [so]

  - modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable

       export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  * how to find required library on linux

      1. find library on specified path [ static ]  

      2. find library on LD_LIBRARY_PATH

      3. find library on system path

        => If system can not find library, system shows message [can not find specific so file]
