Description:
I wanted to compare performance of glx vs egl through "caskbench", but it fails to compile. Upon closer research turned out "cairo/cairo-gl-h" have actually been earlier in cairo package (I'm being told by pkgfile with outdated database), but then disappeared. Unfortunately I updated pkgfile, so I can't tell when it worked; however by looking cairo's PKGBUILD, the reason most likely "--disable-gl" option to configure. version: 1.15.8-2 |
This task depends upon

So, well… I can understand why to have it disabled, though I still don't see why to have it disabled explicitly as opposed to sticking to ./configure defaults.
Besides that:
OpenGL: no (disabled, use --enable-gl to enable)
OpenGL ES 2.0: no (disabled, use --enable-glesv2 to enable)
You're free to compile cairo with GL enabled yourself, but we won't provide it.
