Ishmal,
the current svn does not compile. There is a call to some cairo_ft_ function in the inkscape source. Our win32-cairo version is not compiled with freetype support.
I got a cairo-dev from the glade/gtk+ for windows project from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98754
Now it compiles. DO we have to update our cairo package or do we continue with the current and have to modify this single call to the unsupported cairo function.
Thanks,
Adib. ---

Adib,
The problem is that we should not directly depend on cairo-ft at all. Depending on who is using cairo, one cannot depend on its being built in a certain configuration. And one app's version of Cairo might conflict with another's. It is much safer for us to depend on pango-cairo, since we will be getting it for free in gtk2.8+ anyway.
I made a temporary fix that allows it to compile for now. And Miklos sent me a fix with Pango code which I will apply ASAP.
