Actually, in this case, this is probably not going to work. The reason
|
|
is because of the X server that comes with Red Hat 8.0 is XFree86 4.2,
|
|
which does included an outdated version of the RENDER extension.
|
|
|
|
Red Hat 9, and Mandrake 9.1 both ship with XFree86 4.3 with a current
|
|
version of the RENDER extension. For these distributions, we have RPMS
|
|
on my site on primates and also on Red Carpet.
|
|
|
|
The problem with building Cairo on the older distributions is this:
|
|
since a dated version of RENDER is bundled in the X server, it is not
|
|
possible to ship the current version of RENDER in a separate package
|
|
because that will conflict with files already provided by the
|
|
XFree86-devel package.
|
|
|
|
To fix this, I'll probably have to build render and install it on top of
|
|
the files provided by XFree86-devel, specifically the header file. With
|
|
that, I can then build the upper layers of the Cairo stack and ship
|
|
packages for those components. The updated header file for RENDER will
|
|
still not be shipped with these older distributions, but the resulting
|
|
shared libraries should work.

|
|
I don't mind posting source RPMs, however, I find it frequently to be a
|
|
support hassle. A lot of people assume that it is fine to rebuild a
|
|
source RPM regardless of the targeted distribution. When that happens,
|
|
the package dependencies gets completely jammed up and things get
|
|
rapidly very messy from then on (i.e. 'just' fixing it with --force in
|
|
RPM). The dependencies for GNOME libraries are a good example of what I
|
|
mean, since the package names used in Red Hat, Mandrake and SuSE are all
|
|
different.
|
|
|
|
[ This is for everyone, and not just Richard ]
|
|
If you want the source RPM for something, please contact me and I can
|
|
send it to you. However, I fear that if I release source RPMs out to the
|
|
public, I'll get lots of support mail for no good reason. Besides, we
|
|
ship the prebuilt binary RPMs for our supported distributions anyway. If
|
|
you want to build it yourself, it's always possible to build from
|
|
tarballs/CVS.
|
|
|
|
I haven't had the time to work on building Cairo on 'legacy'
|
|
distributions such as Red Hat 8 or SuSE 8.2; it is something that I
|
|
really wanted to do this week. Please bug me again if it's not done by
|
|
the end of the week ;-)
|
|
|
|
Duncan.
