As reported by Damian Frank:
"I ran into a hitch with the Makefile.win32 infrastructure. It uses -MD and
-LD when linking regardless of the config, but it should be using -MDd and
-LDd for the debug config. I believe both the Makefile.win32.common and
src/Makefile.win32 files include erroneous declarations. This produces
warnings at link time about a mismatch when linking against properly created
debug libs (for instance, I had a zlib built as "LIB ASM Debug" that linked
properly against the debug runtime).
This problem applies to pixman too; can you pass this along to the
maintainer?"
Would be delighted to if someone commits a fix to pixman reading this
commit message.
The win32 build system has no way to install anything, but it has
full knowledge of what needs to be installed (which headers). So
we now report files to be installed at the end of the build.
We now compile cairo-system.c twice when building static library, but
that's fine because cairo-systemc. includes no other code. Indeed
that's why cairo-system.c was born in the first place.
The cairo_headers variable in Makefile.win32 was unused and
from before the new build system was put in place. One can
use enabled_cairo_headers if need be.
Quick summary of changes:
- Move list of cairo source files out of src/Makefile.am and into
src/Sources.mk,
- Generate files src/Config.mk and src/Config.mk.win32 that choose
the right set of source files and headers based on configured
backends and features. This drastically simplifies building
using other build systems. The src/Makefile.win32 file needs
to be updated to reflect these changes.
- Add README files to various directories,
- Add toplevel HACKING file.
Since the last time these makefiles were last updated some new source
files have been added and one renamed. In addition, a "clean" rule
needed to be added to the pixman makefile. And the "clean" rule in the
main cairo makefile wasn't working properly for me.
Make sure that all operations are correct (the operations chosen
are listed in cairo-win32-surface.c); in particular, deal with the extra
byte present in FORMAT_RGB24 surfaces correctly.
Also adds support for calling StretchDIBits to draw RGB24
cairo_image_surfaces directly.
There was a bad mix of LIBCMT (the static runtime lib) and MSVCRT (the dynamic
one) before, because LIBCMT is the default. This specifies /MD everywhere.
This patch adds a bunch of makefiles for building cairo with Visual C++.
gnu make is still required, and make must be run from a command prompt
that has the Visual C++ paths set up, as well as has the cygwin environment
in the path. Run 'make -f Makefile.win32'.
