INSTALL

Install method1 - preferred method
---------------
Using the same install method of install as cairo - GNU autotools.

    $ python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
      # make a note of the python prefix
    $ ./configure --prefix=<python_prefix>
    $ make
    $ make install       # may require superuser access

To build from CVS, use this line instead of the configure line above:
    $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>

If you're installing to another prefix than the one where Python is installed
Python will not be able to find the cairo module until you add
$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH variable.

If PyGTK or Numeric Python are detected optional modules will be compiled.
However, if PyGTK >= 2.7.0 is detected then cairo.gtk is not built since
pycairo is now supported directly by PyGTK.

To disable PyGTK support use:
    $ ./configure --without-pygtk


Install method2 - alternative install method
---------------
    1. Untar the .tar.gz file
    2. cd into the resulting directory
    3. python setup.py install
