Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2009-08-05 08:01:12 UTC 
On Henry's MacPro

  make distclean
  ./configure --disable-fontconfig
  make

results in

  Undefined symbols:
    "_cairo_ps_surface_set_eps", referenced from:
        _devcairo_open_device in gdevcairo.o
  ld: symbol(s) not found
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [bin/gs] Error 1


These same set of commands do not fail on my iMac, so it's not a general Mac OS
X issue.

Comment 2 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-06-29 04:23:58 UTC 
r11448 makes --disable-fontconfig implies --disable-cairo .

cairo depends on fontconfig. The reported problem seems to be linker-dependent - on recent linux, --disable-fontconfig would still build the cairo device (and the resulting gs binary dependent on libfontconfig through depending on libcairo). Possibly on MacPro, both direct+indirect dependent libraries needed to be presented to the linker. In any case, if the user specifies --disable-fontconfig, it should be understood that he/she does not want indirect dependencies either.

Meant to close with last comment.
