I was also able to rebuild cairomm 1.12.2 over cairo 1.15.10, but as I am not as far as inkscape, it is only a compile test. I will leave the tickets open in that case until cairo 1.16 is released and won't check-in my book changes.

[blfs-dev] upgrade of cairo to 1.15.10
Hi all While trying to upgrade rsvg to 2.42.3, I got stuck at rsvg now requiring cairo 1.15.4. After checking the cairo website, I found that the latest snapshot is 1.15.10, from 2017-12-07: https://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.15.10/ If it's ok, I will create a ticket for cairo-1.15.10 and then see, if this all works out with pango, gtk3, poppler and gstreamer. Those seem to be the packages I have installed that use cairo. Or shall I rather drop the upgrades?
