I am not totally sure, but doesn't this just overwrite the results from
pkg-config? I was wondering why you also need to add -lQtGui and I guess this is
why.

Also, the correct fix would be to link libcairo.so with a c++ linker so that it
can automatically add the needed C++ libraries. However, I have no idea how to
do that. :/
