Description David King 2010-08-06 09:23:53 UTC

Version 1.8.2 of cairomm installs a cairommconfig.h that defines PACKAGE, VERSION and other defines that are created by autoconf. Therefore, any package that compiles against cairomm 1.8.2 and uses autoconf will have these defines redifined and get a warning from the compiler (and probably undesired behaviour). There was a large build system overhaul in cairomm 1.8.4 which fixes the problem:

I forgot to mention that simply renaming the current 1.8.2 ebuild to 1.8.4 seems to work fine for me.

I have tried to bump it but building with tests fail with:

I see that Nirbheek added 1.9.8 to the tree, with tests disabled due to the lack of the boost unit testing framework. Updating summary.

It will probably be stabilized with Gnome 2.32 as it will require cairo-1.10 for evince-2.32

Better stabilize soon 1.8.6 as 1.9.x is considered unstable and 1.8.x should still work with cairo-1.10 (as talked on #cairo IRC channel). Not sure how much time wait for a proper testing of 1.8.6 before asking its stabilization :-/

Will stabilize this in bug 353436 (giving us a bit more time for testing just committed 1.8.6 version)
