[cairo] Compilation Error

[Naveen M K]

Hello,

I think using meson is a lot simpler. That guide seems to be outdated.
Last releases tar archives don't contain meson sub-projects, that a problem already reported, so I 
getting archive from Gitlab seems to be the best way to go.
essentially running these command will work, after install meson and ninja
https://meson.build

meson setup --prefix=$prefix --buildtype=release cairo_builddir cairo
meson install -C cairo_builddir

This should install Cairo on `$prefix`.
