Epiphany cannot find Cairo

While trying to build Epiphany I receive:

Found pkg-config: /usr/bin/pkg-config (0.22)
Run-time dependency iso-codes found: YES 3.12.1
Found CMake: /usr/local/bin/cmake (3.19.2)
WARNING: CMake Toolchain: Failed to determine CMake compilers state
Run-time dependency cairo found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

meson.build:80:0: ERROR: Dependency “cairo” not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

A full log can be found at /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

I need to pass the Cairo dir to it. With configure that is as easy as putting: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/lib/pkgconfig/ together with the configure command.

Here: meson.py .. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/lib/pkgconfig/ does not work.

How to proceed then?

Epiphany does not use CMake and it doesn’t (directly) depend on cairo either. What are you really trying to build?

3

meson can use cmake to detect dependencies

4

the 2nd argument to meson is the build directory. so that will probably try to build epiphany in a folder ./PKG_CONFIG…
please try writing the PKG_CONFIG_PATH assignment before the meson executable

Hi. It didn’t change the outcome.
