libgdiplus: An Open Source implementation of the GDI+ API.

This is part of the Mono project.

Build status:

Travis (Linux/OSX)
Jenkins (Linux)
Jenkins (Windows)

Requirements:

This requires the libraries used by the Cairo vector graphics library to build (freetype2, fontconfig, Xft2 and libpng).

On OSX you can use Homebrew to install the dependencies:

brew install glib cairo libexif libjpeg giflib libtiff autoconf libtool automake pkg-config

On Debian-based Linux distributions you can use apt-get to install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libgif-dev autoconf libtool automake build-essential gettext libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libtiff-dev libexif-dev

On Windows you can use Vcpkg to install the dependencies. Run the following commands from the root of the repository from an admin command prompt:

bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg.exe integrate install
vcpkg.exe install giflib libjpeg-turbo libpng cairo glib tiff libexif glib pango --triplet x86-windows
vcpkg.exe install giflib libjpeg-turbo libpng cairo glib tiff libexif glib pango --triplet x64-windows

Build instructions

To build on OSX without X11:

./autogen.sh --without-x11 --prefix=YOUR_PREFIX
make

To build on OSX with X11 (e.g. from XQuartz):

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig ./autogen.sh --prefix=YOUR_PREFIX
make

To build on Linux:

./autogen.sh --prefix=YOUR_PREFIX
make

To build on Windows, open libgdiplus.sln.

Running the unit tests

Run the following command from the root of the repository:

make check

Installing libgdiplus

Run the following command from the root of the repository:

make install

Optional build options [UNSUPPORTED]

--with-pango

This builds libgdiplus using Pango to render (measure and draw) 
all of it's text. This requires Pango version 1.10 (or later).
