Can you please test in your environments if the new Cairo build support
works and report here?
So I went to test this out but:
- None of my Windows/mingw machines have pkg-config installed
- I don't actually have Cairo installed on any of them either (at least not on any I have ready access to just now... lockdown...)
- I don’t actually have pkg-config on my Mac either
So broadly unhelpful in terms of testing this change, I'm afraid!
Thanks for testing anyway. Some notes:
I tried to go one step after the other, hence this commit relies on
pkg-config to include Cairo libs. I know that I also had issues with
pkg-config + Cairo on MSYS2 (mingw-w64) where (IIRC CMake) changed the
paths returned by pkg-config in unusable ways. I stopped researching
that though because it turned out to quickly get too complicated. Maybe
later again...
That said, I know that using pkg-config may not be reliable in all
environments and also that some users don't have it, so another way w/o
pkg-config is on my to-do list, but it can be difficult. pkg-config does
a good job and simplifies things in the build files, that is if it is
installed and works.
I opened another "question and answer" thread about macOS build
environments. I'd appreciate if you and others could shed some light on
your build environments.
