<br>
Your timing is good because I have been working on Cairo in MS4W.<br>
<br>
I have been working hard on upgrading MS4W Cairo (you can actually see<br>
your version of Cairo installed on your local machine by going to<br>
<a href="http://127.0.0.1/README_INSTALL.html#mapserver-build-environment" target="_blank">127.0.0.1/README_INSTALL.html#mapserver-build-environment</a>).<br>
<br>
You can see that the version on your machine is probably a year old or<br>
so (git-03102011 is the date).<br>
<br>
Cairo depends on many libraries (Pixman, PNG, ZLIB, Freetype, and their<br>
dependencies), and although super-simple to compile on Linux - I just<br>
did from source on Ubuntu - it is one of the hardest things I have ever<br>
done on Windows. I do have the latest Cairo now working (1.12.14) in<br>
MS4W, but I must do much more testing.<br>
<br>
Once I have something usable I will test the build in the ticket you<br>
mentioned.<br>
<br>
Related: Another unbelievable pain is compiling libsvg-cairo (and<br>
libsvg) for SVG symbol support on Windows. I am in the exact same<br>
position as others in the MapServer community<br>
(<a href="http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/SVG-symbol-support-in-MapServer-libsvg-and-librsvg-td4333022.html" target="_blank">http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/SVG-symbol-support-in-MapServer-libsvg-and-librsvg-td4333022.html</a>),<br>
and I am considering using the librsvg library instead (as it is<br>
actually maintained), but that is a considerable investment of effort (I<br>
imagine the MapServer code would have to be adapted for this new<br>
library). If you are reading this and have comments/ideas/help, please<br>
do comment directly in the related ticket:<br>

<br>
I am away from now till a week from now giving training but I will<br>
continue on this when I get back.<br>
