[solved] Unable to build cairo-git

ebrilo · 2016-12-04 10:18:53

Being annoyed by high ram usage by cairo apps with nvidia drivers (this issue), tried to build cairo-git package from AUR without --enable-gl and --enable-egl, but unexpectedly encountered something awry.

After $ makepkg -rs on live machine with gnome3 and proprietery nvidia driver terminal said, that it wants to remove nvidia-340xx-libgl, because it conflicts with mesa-libgl. I got spooked by this thing and went to virtualbox Arch with mesa, where tried to do the same, and for a few seconds everything seemed to be doing fine, but than terminal said, that there's an error in line 36 of pkgbuild file: --enable-svg: command not found, and refused to proceed.

I've already built this cairo without --enable-gl in some other distros, but in Arch somehow I successfully failed.

What am I doing wrong?..

Post the PKGBUILD as you are using it.

Here comes the pkgbuild..

}

build() {
	cd cairo
	./autogen.sh \

		--sysconfdir=/etc \
		--localstatedir=/var \
		--disable-static \

  make
}

package(){
	cd cairo
	make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

Please note - lines with --enable-gl and --enable-egl were disabled by me.

Rather than commenting them out, remove the unwanted lines. Leaving them in the middle of the autogen.sh arguments breaks the flow.

Thanks, I'll try in a few hours and report back. But have to say, that three years ago I successfully managed to build cairo (actually, than I had to build only libcairo.so, as I did'n need anything else) in ALTLinux distro, but, hmm, there I had to use traditional way of ./configure, make, etc, and commented --enable-gl and --enable-egl in makefile.. Didn't know, that pkgbuild syntax doesn't allow commenting lines out, thanks.

WorMzy · 2016-12-04 12:38:39

PKGBUILDs are just bash, they "support" comments just like any other bash scripts, but the way that particular PKGBUILD is written (using backslashes to escape newlines in order to split up the arguments to autogen.sh) means that commented lines break the flow. The first commented line was treated as the end of the arguments being passed to autogen.sh, so --enable-svg was treated as a new command.

Please remember to mark your thread as solved.

ebrilo · 2016-12-04 12:52:44

Throne, didn't notice those backslashes. It's so hard to be a fool..

Will try to build it in a few hours.

Thanks once again, WorMzy. Everything works fine.

Sure, 100 mb difference is not that much, but anyway - 100 mb less of some awry things kicking around in my ram.
