I am building via jhbuild tinderbox - which runs builds in the background. jhbuild tinderbox sets TERM=dumb. Pycairo's autogen.sh does: set -e followed by: boldface="`tput bold 2>/dev/null`" which fails with TERM=dumb.
Created attachment 29032 [details] [review] Fix to allow TERM=dumb builds Patch thanks to Frederic Peters http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593607#c1
autogen.sh has been updated. Note that pycairo development is now using git, not CVS.
