-GNU Autotools - install method 1 - preferred method
---------------------------------
+Waf - recommended install method
+---
+$ ./waf --help # shows available waf options
+$ ./waf configure
+$ ./waf build
+$ ./waf install
+
+
+GNU Autotools - alternative install method
+-------------
Using the same install method of install as cairo - GNU autotools.
- $ python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
- # make a note of the python prefix
- $ ./configure --prefix=<python_prefix>
- $ make
- $ make install # may require superuser access
+$ python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
+ # make a note of the python prefix
+$ ./configure --prefix=<python_prefix>
+$ make
+$ make install # may require superuser access
To build from CVS, use this line instead of the configure line above:
- $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>
+$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>
If you're installing to another prefix than the one where Python is installed
Python will not be able to find the cairo module until you add
$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH variable.
