Hi,

'./pre-inst-env guix-build gobject-introspection' fails with the
following error:

  GICOMP gir/cairo-1.0.gir
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./g-ir-scanner", line 46, in <module>
    sys.exit(scanner_main(sys.argv))

The problem isn't version-specific.  I tested several versions.  I also
tried to remove all Cairo-related things from 'Makefile.in', but it
didn't help.  My guess is that our GLib causes the problem, but I'm not
sure.

Here's a snippet from Nixpkgs:

   # Tests depend on cairo, which is undesirable (it pulls in lots of
   # other dependencies).
   configureFlags = "--disable-tests";

AFAICT, this flag is useless because the tests are disabled by
default.

Nikita

this metadata and automatically provide bindings to call into the C
