Re: Mac OS X, getting started?

Attached please find two sample code: one is quartz and second one is OpenGL.

Subject: Re: [cairo] Mac OS X, getting started?

While both of these seem to be good solutions (I am leaning more towards quartz than NSOpenGL) I cannot find any "Hello World" demonstrations that create a simple window.  Is there a generic GLUT like function that abstracts the platform specific window creation boiler plate code?   I found one example to show a manual method for xlib at http://en.literateprograms.org/Hello_World_(C,_Cairo)  but cannot seem to find a Mac OS X or Windows example.

In MacPorts:

$ port variants cairo
cairo has the variants:
   opengl: Add OpenGL graphics interface
     * requires x11
   quartz: Support for native Mac OS X graphics
   universal: Build for multiple architectures
[+]x11: Enable X11 support

So you see the x11 variant is enabled by default. If you don't want X11 graphics, and would prefer Quartz (a.k.a. native OS X) graphics, select quartz and deselect x11.

$ sudo port install cairo +quartz -x11

If you have any further trouble with cairo or other ports in MacPorts, feel free to write to the macports-users mailing list.
