Don't worry Graeme, I did not forget that PDF engine. It only has so different API that I could not yet join it into our code which currently uses PowerPDF. The standard Canvas API fits there more easily. > Michael van Canneyt also created a PDF report engine (based on some of > the code included in fpGUI), and I believe this is already in FPC Trunk > (Michael?). I checked carefully the recent FPC trunk history using your Git mirror and Gitk. I don't see any PDF engine there. In any case I will continue to adapt the PDF engine either from FpGUI or from FPC once it is committed by Michael. An ideal situation would be proof of concept versions using both Cairo lib and this pure-Pascal engine.

Maybe somebody will one day contribute an adapter class for a PowerPDF-to-fpGUI_PDF api. ;-) > I checked carefully the recent FPC trunk history using your Git mirror and > Gitk. > I don't see any PDF engine there. I couldn't find it in FPC either. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit with all the things discussed in private emails between Michael and myself. > An ideal situation would be proof of concept versions using both Cairo > lib and this pure-Pascal engine. In fpGUI there is already a PDF engine demo (/examples/gui/reporting/) which shows many of the PDF engine feature.

Ooops, indeed, just try on my Mint 17 => E: Impossible to find source for cairo package... > I guess I must download the Cairo sources from somewhere before doing "cd > cairo". Yep, usually i use sudo apt-get build-dep xxx but it does not work any more... You may download src from => => http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.14.2.tar.xz => unzip it. => $ cd cairo-1.14.2 => $ ./configure --disable-libX11 (or --disable-X11 ?)

You guys should switch to FreeBSD (or PC-BSD for that matter). ;-) # cd /usr/ports/graphics/cairo # make config (to configure the features you want) # make reinstall clean That would download the latest Cairo release directly from http://cairographics.org, then build and update your existing install.

I tested the configuration with the flags you suggested and also "--disable-Xlib" but they don't help. There is always : Xlib: yes Xlib Xrender: yes I think it must be configured in a machine without X. FreeBSD or Gentoo would be valid choices except that my final target machine has an Ubuntu server. I will continue with my experiments. This is not exactly related to FPC or Pascal any more. Thanks for help.
