Hi Hugo, Thanks for the stuff. I'll try it as soon as I managed to fire up cairomm. And it seems that process is not so obvius. I've compiled it from source (CVS) just the way you described. Xcode's setup is good (the example Baz has provided works very well). But I get a gray screen with cairomm. If I replace the .m file's content to Baz's one it works smoothly. Anyways ... I'm not gonna give up:) Plus, it seems we have similar goals in a way or another: I needed cairo (the native OSX version) to implement a "real" cross-platform canvas like thing (with very *minimal deps*) for a modeler app (kind of:) ... do a little UML like stuff, flowchats, dashboards, etc. Btw: I haven't find a clear statement about the licensing conditions of cairo. If there is one where can I find? It'd be lovely to see a license that does not restrict commercial usage:) Cheers, P ps: I've sent a mail yesterday evening (with a screenshot) and some kudos to you guys:) ... I'm not sure you got that (pending on list admin approval because of the attachement). <div> On 6/22/07, Hugo Vincent <<a href="mailto:hugo.vincent@gmail.com">hugo.vincent@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'm using the official Cairo 1.4.8 release, and Cairomm from CVS (checked out in March...), both compiled from source. Default configure for Cairomm (no arguments), and Cairo configured as: ./confgure --disable-xlib --disable-xlib-render --enable-quartz -- disable-freetype --enable-ps --enable-png --enable-pdfs --disable-svg --enable-atsui Cairomm doesn't support Quartz in any released versions AFAIK. I wrote a patch that adds Quartz support, and it's been accepted upstream and is in CVS, so you need to use a recent CVS checkout. Unless you need Cairomm it might just be easier to use plain Cairo. You might also want to look LibPapyrus. I'm using that in my Cocoa application, and I wrote a patch to make it work nicely with Cocoa events and such. My modified version is here: <a href="http://hugovincent.no-">http://hugovincent.no-</a> <a href="http://ip.org/files/Papyrus-Hugo-0.71.tar.bz2"> ip.org/files/Papyrus-Hugo-0.71.tar.bz2</a> and an explanation is here: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/">http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/</a> forum.php?thread_name=B8EC388F-60F1-4111-AFAB-39153AAA1861% 40gmail.com&forum_name=libpapyrus-devel If nothing else, treat it as a more-worked-through example of how to use Cairo(mm) on Cocoa. Regarding XCode, select the target (on the list on the left side of the window) and go File->Get Info. No go to the Build tab, and modify the Header Search Path, and Library Search Path options. You may also need to put "-lcairo" in Other Linker Flags. Regards, Hugo Vincent.
