21:10 <hzeller[m]> litghost: Tried to compile master+wip branch of vtr in a pristine environment: looks like there is cairo pulled in as dependency of ezgl. What would be the recommended way to deal with this, adding it to libs/EXTERNAL or require it to be installed on the build machine ?

21:13 <litghost> hzeller: that is a change from upstream VTR. They are working on making it optional.

21:15 <litghost> hzeller: I modified our conda packaging to include it (see https://github.com/SymbiFlow/conda-packages/commit/8d2b62651b7fbb5f1fdadddbe726a07bef6412ee), in the long term there is a plan to compile both with and without the GUI for footprint reasons (see https://github.com/SymbiFlow/conda-packages/issues/8)

21:18 <hzeller[m]> litghost: Thanks, I'll be watching that issue. For now I'll see to make it work with minimal changes in an hermetic build environment
