Issue or Feature
- If this is an issue with installation, I have read the troubleshooting guide.
I can't build an Electron app as soon as I install pdfjs-dist (and by extension canvas). I'm not even importing nor using pdfjs-dist. The app can't compile and crashes immediately.
I have installed all the necessary packages with brew: pkg-config, cairo, pango, libpng, jpeg, giflib, librsvg, libffi.
The error is:
