In order to compile successfully on windows one needs to use the option -DWITH_LEGACY_WINDOWS_SUPPORT=OFF as Cairo will not compile otherwise.
There may be a case for setting the default value of this option to false given that legacy Windows support no longer works, so that (if all the prerequisites are present) building with default settings works on Windows
