docs: Developers setup has a problem with py3cairo.pc #228
Comments
FYI: I looked up pycairo and on their Getting Started page it says different versions are cached by pip.
Once I did this, I reran the developer install for Diffuse, and it was successful. I think the Developers setup page is a bit sparse on what all these tools are for. |

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and following the instructions in the Developers setup.
I used the
Debian/Ubuntu
command given for dependencies. It installed 11MB (I already had flatpak and python3-pip).Then I used the command for developer requirements:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.dev.txt
It started downloading and installing stuff. One message said
Requirement already satisfied: pycairo>=1.16.0 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from PyGObject~=3.44->-r requirements.txt (line 1)) (1.20.1)
But when building PyGObject, it stopped with an error:
Package py3cairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
I tried to install it with pip3, but it could not find a matching distribution for py3cairo.
I don't really know what I'm doing with these tools, so how do I move forward and what needs to change in the docs?
