Compile error on archlinux

[Thorsten Grothe]

When I try to compile mu4e on arch I got this error

Code hier eingeben...

webkitgtk, webkit2gtk and webkitgtk2 are installed, what's wrong?

Could you be more precise which command you are running and which source
code you are using? Are you using a released tarball? Or are you
compiling from the git repository? Which command?

It would also be nice to prepend “LANG='en_US.utf-8'” to the command you
are running so that the error messages are in English instead of German.

I think webkit and gtk are only needed for MUG, the toy-GUI for mu. Do
you really need MUG? If not, you could try to not build MUG.

If you want MUG, I'd guess that you're missing some cairo libraries?

sorry for the german language, I forgot that, you were right, it has
something to do with cairo and webkit. The newest update to cairo 1.15
breaks webkit on arch/manjaro. The solution is to downgrade cairo to
1.14, see here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-web-photo/

I did that and got no more errors, problem solved :-)
