Bug 73041 – RFE: glitz, and cairo / xsvg-glitz support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Graeme Humphries 2004-12-01 08:58:58 UTC]

We have ebuilds for Cairo in Gentoo, but there doesn't seem to be any ebuilds for Glitz, the OpenGL acceleration layer for Cairo. It would be nice to have that, so that xsvg-cairo would be opengl accelerated. This is especially important to work out now, since IIRC the librsvg developers are planning on targetting Cairo as an renderer for librsvg. If we had glitz support in place, this would mean that the Gnome desktop (when using SVG themes) would become 3d accelerated.

[Comment 1 Tom Payne (RETIRED) 2004-12-05 09:00:42 UTC]

Glitz now added, but seems to be incompatible with cairo-0.2.0. See bug # 73454.

The glitz-cvs ebuild doesn't emerge properly on my system, I get the following:

[Comment 3 Graeme Humphries 2004-12-15 10:01:55 UTC]

"WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.8 emerge glitz-cvs" fixes the emerge error I had, perhaps that should be put into the glitz-cvs ebuild?

[Comment 4 Tom Payne (RETIRED) 2004-12-19 10:19:52 UTC]

It turns out that cairo needs =media-libs/glitz-0.2.3. See bug # 73454. These are now in CVS, so I'll remove glitz-cvs. Thanks for the automake patch -- this has been incorporated.
