[Bug 802942] Re: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails

[Thomas Mayer]

In ubuntu 16.04, I tried out the libcairo which ubuntu comes shipped
with and compiled FF47.0 myself, using the build-option --enable-system-
cairo.

After the change, it works: I can finally print https://www.dab-
bank.de/Service/Kontakt/ on my old Kyocera fs-1020d. Same for
https://boerse.dab-bank.de/maerkte-kurse/aktien.html.

This is the version of libcairo I used (and which also worked!):

apt-cache show libcairo2
Source: cairo
Version: 1.14.6-1

I made the build with:

sudo apt-get install packaging-dev libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
<= install all the dependencies for the build

pull-lp-source firefox xenial
cd firefox-47.0+build3/
echo "ac_add_options --enable-system-cairo" >> debian/config/mozconfig.in
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
sudo dpkg -i firefox_47.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb

@till-kamppeter Would it be possible to build FF and TB with --enable-
system-cairo in the distro, now that it works? I did not run any further
testing yet, however. Just my testcase works now and fixes this issue
for FF.
