rcairo
Ruby bindings for cairo // cairo extension for Ruby
ruby >= 1.8 (1.9.2 also supported!)
cairo >= 1.2.0 (1.12.0 also supported!)
This way is recommended.
# gem install cairo
For experimental users.
Download rcairo-X.Y.Z.tar.gz from cairographics.org/releases/
Extracting:
% tar xvzf rcairo-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
Compiling:
% cd rcairo-X.Y.Z % ruby extconf.rb # to check for dependencies and create Makefiles % make # to compile # make install # to install the cairo extension. # The samples in the samples folder should be able # to run before installation except text-on-path.rb # and text2.rb. They uses Ruby/Pango with rcairo # support. So you need to install rcairo and build # Ruby/Pango with it before you run them.
Options to extconf.rb:
* --without-vendor-override: Use system libraries instead of those found in vendor/local for compiling
