The user manual is ancient, there is a comment to that affect at the top
of the documentation page where I assume you found it, "Important: This
documentation is not wholly up to date. There is a new user manual (see
draft). The wiki contains more up to date stuff as well.".

What version are you building? the recent ones don't use qcairo anymore.
Please use the latest, right now that's 0.11.0 -
http://spice-space.org/download/releases/spice-0.11.0.tar.bz2
