Comment 11 for bug 987962

Followed your instructions in comment 10 and the inkscape binary started without crashing 10/10 times. Looks good.

Good to learn that 7-zip can unpack RPM on windows - that will come in handy.

It is probably time for revision 30 of devlibs, with the newer Cairo included.

What led you to the conclusion this was a Cairo issue?

Thanks.

Side note - upgrading the mingw build environment to the latest versions of everything did not independently resolve this issue. However, the mingw build environment does not include libcairo, which is only in devlibs.
