cairo build failure, static library target

[jpcima]

Host Environment

• OS: Windows x86 in Appveyor
• Compiler: Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 MSVC 19.16.27035.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
vcpkg install cairo:x86-windows-static

Failure logs

Starting package 10/14: glib:x86-windows-static
Building package glib[core]:x86-windows-static...
-- Note: glib only supports dynamic library linkage. Building dynamic library.
CMake Error at scripts/cmake/vcpkg_check_linkage.cmake:42 (message):
  Refusing to build unexpected dynamic library against the static CRT.  If
  this is desired, please configure your triplet to directly request this
  configuration.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  ports/glib/portfile.cmake:10 (vcpkg_check_linkage)
  scripts/ports.cmake:94 (include)

Additional context
Currently it's not possible to build cairo statically, because this pulls static glib, and Glib is only compatible with dll builds.

Glib however, is an optional dependency of cairo, which there exists a configure option to disable (--disable-gobject).

It would be helpful if we can somewhat have a strategy that can build target unofficial::cairo::cairo, and skip unofficial::cairo::cairo-gobject.
(such as to make it a separate package, or what else may be appropriate)

Hi @jpcima
Thanks for posting this issue.
In this case, we might consider to set gobject as a feature for cairo and remove the dependency of glib.
What's your opinion?

Hi, I think it seems an adequate approach to solving this problem, and I would find it greatly helpful 👍

@jpcima
I submitted a PR to fix this issue just now.
Could you please help confirm if it can work for you?

It's a success with the PR #11829. Thanks.
The software built correctly in both architectures.
