如何在OSX上安装pycairo?
easy_install pycairo
得到了:
Requested 'cairo >= 1.8.8' but version of cairo is 1.0.4
error: Setup script exited with Error: cairo >= 1.8.8 not found
因此，我去了cairo的网站并下载了cairo的最新软件包(1.8.8)，还下载了名为pixman的最新软件包(两个源软件包-找不到osx二进制文件)
So I went to cairo's site and downloaded the latest package (1.8.8) of cairo, and also the latest package of something called pixman (both source packages -- couldn't find osx binaries)
将两者解压缩，每个都在自己的目录中.
对于pixman，常规的./configure ; make ; sudo make install可以找到
对于开罗，./configure似乎可以工作，但是make失败:
unzipped both, each in own directory.
for pixman, the regular ./configure ; make ; sudo make install worked just find
for cairo, ./configure seemed to work, but make failed with:
In file included from cairo-analysis-surface.c:37:
cairoint.h:71:20: error: pixman.h: No such file or directory
我在做什么错了?
为什么要使软件库在可以正常工作"的操作系统上工作，我为什么要为此付出很多努力呢?为什么达尔文不更像Linux?
And why do I have to struggle so much to get a software library to work on an os that "just works"? Why isn't darwin more like linux?
我发现此指令非常有帮助，而且混乱程度小得多.我在优胜美地上，对我来说效果很好.该说明使用自制软件进行安装.因此，如果您已经有了自制软件，那么以下两个命令应该会有所帮助:
I found this instruction very helpful and much less confusing. I am on Yosemite and it worked very well for me. This instruction uses homebrew to install. So if you already have homebrew, these two commands should be helpful:
$ brew install cairo --use-clang
$ brew install py2cairo
对于非Homebrew安装的Python，此说明建议设置PYTHONPATH以查找pycairo.您可以将.bashrc/.profile/.whatever中的PYTHONPATH设置为以下内容:
For a non-Homebrew installed Python, this instruction suggest to set the PYTHONPATH to find pycairo. You can set your PYTHONPATH in your .bashrc/.profile/.whatever to the following:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH.
我个人不需要使用说明的最后一部分，但是它可能会对您有所帮助.
I personally didn't need to use this last part of the instruction but it might help you.
