cairo @1.12.8 build failure when xorg-libXext is not installed

[david@…]

Hi, i'm trying to install kdelibs4 which fails due to an error in cairo. When installing cairo i get an error in "xrender.h";

Thanks, ​both ​buildbots ran into this problem too and I couldn't figure out what it was and couldn't reproduce it on my systems. It felt like a missing dependency and I knew I needed to look at the config.log but we can't access the buildbot's files. Your config.log makes it clear:

configure:22163: checking for XRenderCreateLinearGradient
configure:22163: /usr/bin/clang -o conftest -pipe -O2 -arch x86_64   -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include    -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64 conftest.c      -L/opt/local/lib -lX11 -lXext  -L/opt/local/lib -lXrender -lX11    >&5
ld: library not found for -lXext
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

We're missing a library dependency on xorg-libXext.

To receive this fix, as with every other MacPorts fix, run "sudo port selfupdate". For good measure, also run "sudo port clean cairo". Then try installing or updating cairo again.
