I have downloaded the xboard-4.7.1.tar.gz from both http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xboard/ and a mirror website (just in case the file I had downloaded was faulty) but I'm having a hard time in compiling it.
I have "unzipped" it on my desktop, so now I have a xboard-4.7.1 folder on my desktop.
When I enter in that folder via the terminal and then I type
- Code: Select all
./configure
- Code: Select all

configure: error: Package requirements ( cairo >= 1.2.0 librsvg-2.0 >= 2.14.0 ) were not met:
No package 'cairo' found
No package 'librsvg-2.0' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CAIRO_CFLAGS
and CAIRO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
So it seems there's some files missing (cairo and librsvg). Obviously when I tried "make" it would not work. When I tried so, I got a message saying that there's no makefile (while I clearly see 2 makefiles in the folder!).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
