[cairo] Missing Makefile for 1.14.2

[Maud, Jim]

Hello Bryce,

Thanks a lot.
Newbie error! I didn't realise that the makefile was output from the configure step.

I found the problem, I am missing libpng

Much appreciated.
Jim

Was there really no output from configure?
Usually when no Makefile is created it is because configure failed for some reason, and the reason is stated in the output.  If it gave no output then something is fundamentally wrong with it, possibly related to your system setup.

Fwiw, I re-downloaded the .xz and went through the above steps (with my own paths) just now and it worked ok.
