You need to tell your compiler where to find cairo.h with something like -I/usr/include/cairo. However you probably need more of these compiler flags. On Linux, the pkg-config can give them to you. In turn, you should tell pkg-config which cairo backends you’ll be using. gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs cairo cairo-ft cairo-pdf) … I’m sure you can find many resources on the web about building C programs, header files, compiler flags, pkg-config etc. -- Simon Sapin -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
