-* Experimental SVG support
-
- To compile with SVG, you will need pkg-config to be installed, as
- the configure script invokes pkg-config to find out which compiler
- switches to use for SVG. See above for the URL where you can find
- pkg-config for Windows.
-
- SVG support is currently experimental, and not built by default.
- Specify --with-rsvg and ensure you have all the dependencies in your
- include path. Unless you have built a minimalist librsvg yourself
- (untested), librsvg depends on a significant chunk of GTK+ to build,
- plus a few Gnome libraries, libxml2, libbz2 and zlib at runtime. The
- easiest way to obtain the dependencies required for building is to
- download a pre-bundled GTK+ development environment for Windows.
-
- To use librsvg at runtime, ensure that librsvg and its dependencies
- are on your PATH. If you didn't build librsvg yourself, you will
- need to check with where you downloaded it from for the
- dependencies, as there are different build options. If it is a
- short list, then it most likely only lists the immediate
- dependencies of librsvg, but the dependencies themselves have
- dependencies - so don't download individual libraries from GTK+,
- download and install the whole thing. If you think you've got all
- the dependencies and SVG support is still not working, check your
- PATH for other libraries that shadow the ones you downloaded.
- Libraries of the same name from different sources may not be
- compatible, this problem was encountered with libbzip2 from GnuWin32
- with libcroco from gnome.org.
-
- If you can see etc/images/splash.svg, then you have managed to get
- SVG support working. Congratulations for making it through DLL hell
- to this point. You'll probably find that some SVG images crash
- Emacs. Problems have been observed in some images that contain
- text, they seem to be a problem in the Windows port of Pango, or
- maybe a problem with the way Cairo or librsvg is using it that
- doesn't show up on other platforms.
