heroku-buildpack-cairo

I am a Heroku buildpack that installs Cairo and its dependencies (Pango, Pixman, FreeType, HarfBuzz, and giflib) into a dyno slug.

When used with heroku-buildpack-multi, I enable subsequent buildpacks / steps to link to this library.

Using

Composed

You'll almost certainly want to use this in conjunction with one or more additional buildpacks.

When creating a new Heroku app:

heroku apps:create -b https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

cat << EOF > .buildpacks
https://github.com/mojodna/heroku-buildpack-cairo.git
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
EOF

git push heroku master

When modifying an existing Heroku app:

heroku buildpack:set https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

cat << EOF > .buildpacks
https://github.com/mojodna/heroku-buildpack-cairo.git
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
EOF

git push heroku master

Caveats

Pango, HarfBuzz, and fontconfig are only available for the cedar-14 runtime. (Pango is required for current versions of node-canvas.)

Building

This uses Docker to build against Heroku stack-image-like images.

make

Artifacts will be dropped in dist/. See Dockerfiles for build options.
