Is cairo still used in OpenOffice?
Hello;
I am doing some cleanups in the tree, and perhaps Armin can answer
me better:
Is cairo, and in particular canvas/source/cairo still used?
cheers,
Pedro.

Nice. I will take a look.

FreeBSD's port by default does:
--with-system-cairo --enable-cairo
That enables the cairo canvas and it builds.
FWIW, I think in X.Org nowadays you can safely assume you
have cairo so we should probably enable this by default for
Linux/BSD.
cheers,
Pedro.

Hi Pedro,
Looking at configure and canvas/source/cairo/makefile.mk reveals that
cairo canvas is built when you call configure with the switches
--enable-cairo
--enable-cairo-canvas
As the cairo sources are no longer present in ext_sources/ this can only
work when cairo is pre-installed.
I did not check if this still works but maybe we should give it a try on
Linux (and maybe FreeBSD)?
