Hi,
Can we make cairo a hard dependency for php-gtk? There are several functions
which require cairo support.
The famous ones include the gtk_print_context_* ones. More importantly,
direct cairo drawing support can be added by returning a CairoContext object
from gdkWindow - leading to the availability of custom widgets.
So, we plan to define an #ifdef if cairo is found, and if it is not, we
simply don't build the corresponding methods (much like how the 2.8/2.10
overrides are handled currently). Is this approach OK?
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
