Re: why is cairo with pdf and postscript backend mandatory?

[nazgul33 <nazgul33@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sergei,

If you do nothing on GTK+ source code,
Build of GTK+ source code with PS/PDF disabled cairo library will fail.
That's one thing I'm sure of.

In specific, GTK+ configure script fails if you don't have cairo-pdf.h/cairo-ps.h in your include path.
And those files are copied only when you enable PDF/PS support when you build your cairo.

So, to me your reply makes no sense.

gtk+ depends on CUPS, that I know.

I do not install PDF and PS development headers at system level.

My 'configure' output scripts just shows that 'configure' detected 'gs',
i.e. 'ghostscript' executable.

 Sergei.
