Error compiling Cairo 0.92 and how to fix it

[Mario Fischer <klicker-mail gmx net>]

I'm getting along compiling the newest versions of the Gtk2 packages. 
Glib still fails the 64 bit test suites, but for now I ignored that. Now 
I've tried to compile the new Cairo 0.92 release and during the run of 
nmake I got the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
        cl -c  -I. -Ibuild -IC:/Gtk/include/cairo  -nologo -GF -W3 -MD 
-Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT 
-DNO_HASH_SEED -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT 
-DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG 
-O1    -DVERSION=\"0.92\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"0.92\"  "-IC:\usr\lib\CORE" 
cairo-perl-enums.c
cl : Befehlszeile warning D4029 : Die Optimierung ist im 
Standardcompiler nicht verfügbar.
cairo-perl-enums.c
cairo-perl-enums.c(799) : error C2065: 'CAIRO_SVG_VERSION_1_1': 
nichtdeklarierter Bezeichner
cairo-perl-enums.c(801) : error C2065: 'CAIRO_SVG_VERSION_1_2': 
nichtdeklarierter Bezeichner
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl': R³ckgabe-Code '0x2'
Stop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To fix this, run "perl Makefile.PL" and open the file 
"cairo-perl-enums.c" (it is created by Makefile.PL). At the beginning find:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
 * This file was automatically generated.  Do not edit.
 */

#include <cairo-perl.h>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add this line below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

typedef enum {
    CAIRO_SVG_VERSION_1_1,
    CAIRO_SVG_VERSION_1_2
} cairo_svg_version_t;

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now save and close the file. After this modification nmake runs without 
any errors.

I hope that will help.

I'll keep you updated about my progress on compiling Gtk2 with MSVC.
