As an example, for a standard Linux build similar to what's shipped by
your distro, (with image, png, pdf, PostScript, svg, and xlib surface
backends, and the freetype font backend), the following sample commands
will install necessary dependencies:
Debian (and similar):
apt-get install libpng12-dev libz-dev libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev
apt-get build-dep cairo
Fedora (and similar):
yum install libpng-devel zlib-devel libXrender-devel fontconfig-devel
(Those commands intentionally don't install pixman from a distribution
package since if you're manually compiling cairo, then you likely want
to grab pixman from the same place at the same time and compile it as
well.)
Technically you probably don't need pixman from the distribution since
if you're manually compiling Cairo you probably want an updated pixman
as well. However, if you follow the default settings and install pixman
to /usr/local, your Cairo build should properly use it in preference to
the system pixman.
Supported, "standard" surface backends
------------------------------------
image backend (required)
------------------------
pixman >= 0.20.2 http://cairographics.org/releases
pixman >= 0.30.0 http://cairographics.org/releases
png support (can be left out if desired, but many
----------- applications expect it to be present)

skia backend
------------
Requires the skia library as of June 2014. Since skia is not
API stable, building against newer (or older) versions of skia
will probably fail.
Compiling

See the INSTALL document for build instructions.
