-## Build Workarounds
-
-### MacPorts
-
-Currently, the Makefile for the `rust-azure` submodule has hardcoded
-library paths that assumes cairo has been installed with homebrew or
-MacPorts. If you have installed cairo via another methods or a
-different version, you will need to change the library path.
-
-This problem should go away once Issue #40 is fixed, and an
-externally-built cairo is no longer needed.
