Hi,

the "When adding" refers to the old version of the guide. This is about
migrating from a old build where the configure flags were different.
That's what the "if you installed it before" meant. Granted, is not too
clearly written. I guess we could now remove these leftovers.

I see we also need to fix that build guide. Your problem comes from
--with-cairo-glesv2, which before just silently fell back to
cairo-image, but now triggers an error.

--with-cairo-glesv2 should simply be removed from the configure line.


Thanks,
