Hello, So the Homebrew community dropped support for --with-cairo which is a shame because --without-x --with-cairo is an important combination for any environment that might need to generate graphics without X11 (or related) dependencies (macOS, headless linux servers).
This rejected GitHub PR contains more detail: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/24094 (See also these comments: https://github.com/uluyol/homebrew-core/commit/c377e6ebb3c7bc8fe6edf098e259d76e9935aacf ) Specifically: “It looks like the only issue is their configure scripts using cairo-xlib.h instead of cairo.h, but to be honest I'm not familiar with the code. If they remove the dependency, I think the default homebrew R could probably enable cairo by default.” I suppose my general questions are: 1) Is this actually the case? You cannot successfully build R with Cairo capabilities but without X11 dependencies? 2) If so, is it possible to fix this in a future release of R? Thanks a lot, -Stephen Marsh [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
