Can esquisse manage the systemfonts dependencies as part of the package installation? #94

Closed sebastiz closed 4 years ago

sebastiz commented 4 years ago

Id love to use esquisse more but linix systems seem to need some external dependencies that esquisse doesnt manage as part of the package installation. These are:

  1. libfontconfig1-dev which needs to be installed with: sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev
  2. Cairo needs to be installed with: sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev a
  3. Also do sudo apt-get install libxt-dev

These need to be run before esquisse is useable. Is it possible to incorporate these in to the package installation process?

Those dependencies are requirements for other packages that {esquisse} depends on and are not directly used by functions in the package.
