Cairo++ 1.10.0

[ghost]

Removed some patches.

[adamv]

Is a newer cairo now also required on Snow Leopard?

[ghost]

Yes, Adam. I did a regular install after I've updated the formula, to find out that it depends on Cairo 1.10 which are a newer version than the built-in.

OK with you?

[adamv]

Note, still thinking about this...don't like the Cairo duplicate on Snow Leopard, though perhaps we can't let that stand in the way of progress.

[adamv]

@jack @Sharpie I'm willing to pull this but it requires a newer Cairo and we probably have to sort out what we want to do with Cairo (and Pango?) being newer that what is available on OS X, and downstream software depending on it.

[Sharpie]

The versions of Cairo shipped with Leopard and Snow Leopard are too old for a good handful of software to build against. As of this posting, Lion ships with 1.10.2 which is the latest version available.

However, some formulae depend on a keg-only Cairo on Lion for some nebulous reasons. These should be investigated and eliminated if possible.

XQuartz ships with Cairo 1.10.2 (latest version) since 2.6.1, and 2.6.3 can still be installed on Leopard. Note that the system X11 is just a version of XQuartz packaged with OS X; in other words, the Cairo in OS X is the one shipped with XQuartz, although usually an older version of XQuartz than what is currently available.

Therefore, I think the best and simplest approach would be for Homebrew to support XQuartz, and require its installation for formulas that require a newer version of Cairo (or libpng, etc.).

Does this work with synfig-studio?

[ghost]

I have no idea, and to test out with Synfig Studio seems like a big hazle.

If things are uncertain, maybe abandon this request, and clear space in the queue?

[adamv]

synfig-studio is the major thing I see in Homebrew that depends on cairo++.

I could always just push and see if anyone complains.

[ghost]

Ohh.. It didn't have the dash :P I tried searching for it via Github, but couldn't find it.

I can try.

[ghost]

I can't seem to install it, because gdk-pixbuf halts :/ Will look into it later.

[jacknagel]

Working on some updates to the other -mm formulae, will test this out against synfigstudio.

[ghost]

Thanks mate :)

Branch with updated dependency tree for synfigstudio: https://github.com/jacknagel/homebrew/tree/mm

I limited the newer cairo to MACOS_VERSION <= 10.6, it would be nice if someone on Lion could build these and test synfigstudio.

[jacknagel]

So synfigstudio consistently produces a bus error or segfault on startup:

(synfigstudio:40032): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Object class gtkmm__CustomObject_N6studio15ValueBase_EntryE doesn't implement property 'editing-canceled' from interface 'GtkCellEditable'
Bus error

but this appears to have been happening already, without the updated packages, as there are unactioned bug reports upstream, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3452778&group_id=144022&atid=757416.

Pulling.
