Hi Max,

That's true that it is creating shared library instead of an executable.

I replaced this -shared , -fPIC from CMAKE_C_FLAGS & CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.

by using:

string(REPLACE "-shared" "" CMAKE_C_FLAGS ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS})

Now I guess it is trying to create an executable. And in the final stage of linking it is searching for libph, libasound
 etc.which earlier was not happening(should be becuase of shared lib being created instead of an executable).
I linked ph & asound lirary.

But some how I am not able to figure out why I am getting this error:

undefined reference to `cairo_ft_scaled_font_unlock_face`
undefined reference to `cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face`
undefined reference to `cairo_ft_scaled_font_lock_face`
undefined reference to `cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_pattern`

I have cairo built with font backend set to freetype.

Thanks & regards
