[cairo] Dev setup for cairo - containers ?

Dev env sounds useful (I'm used to python which has something that seems analogous).
I'm very new to meson, I noticed there are .wrap files.
Is it possible to have a .wrap file to have cairo as a dependency and change some config, e.g. to enable a non-default cairo back-end ?

 Hi,

development environment the old way, by changing the environment

For what it's worth, Meson also comes with a built-in 'devenv'
functionality these days, so if you build your app with meson and use
the meson cairo subproject it should be possible to set up such a dev
environment for you so that you can test/develop without installing
things.

Might require us to add something to cairo though (meson.add_devenv()).

Cheers
 Tim
