Hi Jeremy,
SL X11 appears to provide
cairo 1.8.6
pixman 0.14.0
freetype 9.20.3
fontconfig 2.6.0
libpng 1.2.35
I assume some of these will be updated in 2.4.1, but December seems far away.
I am tempted to compile newer versions (cairo 1.8.8, libpng 1.2.39, pixman 0.16.0, fontconfig 2.7.1) and install in /usr/X11/lib. In particular, there are apparently security issues with libpng 1.2.35, so it seems this one needs to be updated.
Yes, libpng is likely to be updated, but I doubt the others will see update unless there is a security concern.
As stated before, the X11 updates for SL will not be installed in /usr/X11
Any reason(s) why I should not do this? Any special configuration choices I should make?
No, you just run the same risk as before (a SU may clobber your file).
All those packages build out-of-the-box (./configure && make && sudo make install)... if you have any trouble, let me know and I'll help...
You should probably set these first to get a universal build:
export CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -Os"
export LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64"
Thanks for any help you can provide, and thanks for all your efforts on X11.
