Apparently, Cairo was build without Xlib support, the main library of the X Window System.
I believe that, or you forgot that pass some parameters to configure when building Cairo, or there might be a problem with your XLib library. Another possibility would the Xlib version to not new enough, but this seems extremely unlikely to me.

I just checked the cairo build in the BLFS Book, and xorg libraries are described as "recommended". In LFS that usually means that it is technically possible to build the package without this dependency but it probably won't work in the LFS build environment. As seen here.

@coltson: library version clashes might occur in the development version of BLFS but I can't remember it ever happening in the stable version.

Keith Hedger · 04-07-2023, 10:29 AM

You used to be able to build gtk with a different backend eg the framebuffer, in which case xorg would be an optional dependency, dont know if you can still do this, but either way you had to specially ask for a different backend, it never worked well anyway.

Is there some configure option to build cairo with Xlib support?

There should be no need. If you have the libraries built and installed, the cairo configuration script (or meson if it uses that) should find them and configure the build accordingly.

As Hazel said, theoretically it shouldn't be necessary to pass, as LFS installs the packages in the standard directories.

What's the output of: nm -s libcairo.so.x.x.x | grep cairo_xlib_surface_create_for_bitmap (replace x.x.x by your version of Cairo) ?

Haha, thanks for pointing that out, looks like I have two version of cairo installed and the culprit was the latest version of it installed without xlib support, I was able to build gtk+-3 after removing it
