Re: why is cairo with pdf and postscript backend mandatory?

[Iulian Iliescu <iliescu iulian gmail com>]

I also build GTK+ (2.12.11 and 2.12.12) without cairo PDF, PS support
To be able to do that i made some modification in source code as follows:

* gtk/gtkprintoperation.c
* gtk/gtkprintoperation-unix.c
* modules/printbackends/lpr/gtkprintbackendlpr.c
* modules/printbackends/file/gtkprintbackendfile.c

i commented out all refereces to:

#include <cairo-pdf.h>
#include <cairo-ps.h>
cairo_pdf_surface_set_size()
cairo_pdf_surface_create()
cairo_ps_surface_create_for_stream()



Then a make should do the job.

Hi sergei

current GTK+ configure script finishes with no success if cairo is not compiled with PDF/PS backend.
Then you might be saying that you modified something?

What did you do to remove the "pdf/ps enabled cairo" dependency of GTK+? Can you share the tip with the group? ;)

PDF backend is not mandatory - I've been building without it for years.
