py27-cairo needs x11 variant?

[olupton (Olli Lupton)]

Hi,

I have the following variants set on my system: +quartz -x11

This led to a broken py-cairo install:

$ python

import gi gi.require_foreign("cairo")

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/init.py", line 137, in require_foreign

raise ImportError(str(e))

ImportError: dlopen(/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so, 2): Symbol not found: _cairo_xlib_surface_get_depth

in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so

Building cairo with the +x11 variant solved it; I think the problem is that the binary py-cairo package assumed x11 support in cairo but did not request it?

Adding a +x11 variant will not help if you build with -x11. Now that cairo (and others) install both quartz and x11 backends by default, building with +quartz -x11 is not necessary and as you have shown can cause problems. I recommend building with just +quartz, although X11 support will be built with cairo (in addition to quartz) it will not interfere with your +quartz build.
