I do use cairo in some projects, but not via the fltk-cairo hooks, I have my
own hooks that predate the addition of the fltk-cairo mechanism.
In my Makefiles I use something of the form:
CCFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags cairo)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs cairo)
So that I use pkg-config to get the Right Libs for cairo to work. In my case,
that obviated the need to explicitly call pixman (or not) in the Makefile.
FWIW I generally link cairo in static, so that I don't depend on the system
provided libs, and my "old" systems are locked down to a version of cairo that
does use pixman.
On the other hand, my ubuntu 11.10 box is a "recent" cairo that seems to have
pixman in the inclue path, but only needs -lcairo in the libs, so...
Anyway, using pkg-config may be a way forward? It works well for me on linux,
OK under mingw, and, well, I'm not currently using it on OSX, though I am told
that it does work now, though it was problematic way back when...
