i'm trying to build

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/pango/1.42/pango-1.42.4.tar.xz

which relies on

when ./configureing pango in the wizard, i get an error that cairo is not found. so i try to untar cairo. the first few files come out fine, but none of the rest. the error starts out as

Cannot utime: Device timeout

then a few files later switches to

Cannot utime: No file descriptors available

and finally switches to

Cannot open: No file descriptors available

which utime returns nothing. and i can't install it in the usual manner because yum and apt-get are also missing.

suggestions?

The linux distribution we're using is Alpine linux, so you can use apk to try and install things. In this case it's not complaining about a missing utime command though, it's complaining about the utime syscall.

Are you running on a OSX or Linux host? And what runner are you using? (You can check via BinaryBuilder.versioninfo())

so the big misconception here on my part was that the tar file dependencies needed to be manually unpacked. the solution was to set CFLAGS etc. appropriately.

the problem i'm running into now is that harbuzz and freetype are purportedly circularly dependent on each other.
