I guess modern Linux distributions have a package management systems like apt (Debian, Ubuntu), yum (RedHat, Fedora) or yast (Suse) that can track the inter-package dependency and install the required package automatically. Please check the manuals of the distribution that you're using. However, most of modern Linux distributions might already distribute the precompiled cairo packages, so you're not required to build cairo by yourself (if you're not trying a combination of legacy dependent libraries + latest cairo, or latest dependent libraries + legacy cairo).
