ftbfs: g.cairocomp

[hamish]

Hi,

when building grass 7 I get the following error in g.cairocomp:

main.c: In function 'init_xlib':
main.c:118: error: implicit declaration of function 'cairo_xlib_surface_get_xrender_format'
main.c:118: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make: *** [OBJ.i686-pc-linux-gnu/main.o] Error 1

I have libcairo2-dev version 1.2.4, the fn is not found in /usr/include/cairo/*.h

This change says that >=1.5.8 is now needed: ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/36349

Could a check be added to ./configure to test for cairo_xlib_surface_get_xrender_format()?

thanks, Hamish
