Re: Problems with conflicting cairo assemblies while compiling f-spot from git

[Paul Wellner Bou <pwellner gmail com>]

There is a workaround, but then other problems (related to real source
code) appear.

Changing the Mono.Cairo dependency in external/Hyena:

diff --git a/Hyena.Gui/Hyena.Gui.csproj b/Hyena.Gui/Hyena.Gui.csproj
index 0cf3088..798c0e3 100644
--- a/Hyena.Gui/Hyena.Gui.csproj

     <Reference Include="pango-sharp">

No dependency conflicts any more, the compile error I get after this:

FSpot.Widgets/FolderTreeView.cs(74,60): error CS0837: The `as'
operator cannot be applied to a lambda expression, anonymous method,
or method group
FSpot.Widgets/FolderTreeView.cs(78,60): error CS0837: The `as'

or method group

Paul.
