Help about installing Cairo Graphics via nixpkgs/devbox

[ajhalili2006]

The why

I'm currently setting up image processing dependencies via devbox (but this also applies to general shell.nix setup), but I'm still having errors regarding missing library files. I'm obviously not sure if I added all the required dependencies from nixpkgs based on Ubuntu installation guide.

If someone needs to reproduce this, here's the devbox config I use: https://github.com/ajhalili2006/recaptimesquad-wiki/blob/a1b4eaf394145572b176dd891061a5f700cc34ed/devbox.json (or if opening within Gitpod/GitHub Codespaces, switch to ajhalili2006/setup-devbox-and-pipfile branch)

Log

Note that I ran devbox run -- pipenv run -- mkdocs serve in a GitHub Codespace using a custom Dockerfile based off gitpod/workspace-full image.

gitpod /workspaces/recaptimesquad-wiki (ajhalili2006/setup-devbox-and-pipfile) $ devbox run -- pipenv run -- mkdocs serve
