There is an extensive set of [examples](samples/Samples.md).

On install, libraries will be compiled from source if not present. [Diagnostics from BinDeps](https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl#diagnostics) may help avoid a lengthy compilation.

**Note** : If you're on Mac OSX and you already have Cairo installed on your system, `Pkg.test("Cairo")` might fail. Uninstall your system's Cairo, or unlink it from your path (The command to do that with Homebrew is `brew unlink cairo`). That way, `Pkg.build("Cairo")` would download the binaries to your `deps/usr`, and `Pkg.build("Cairo")` and `Pkg.test("Cairo")` would work again.
