The correct lines are

-- Looking for qh_new_qhull
-- Looking for qh_new_qhull - found
-- Checking for module 'pango'
--   Found pango, version 1.42.3
-- Checking for module 'pangoft2'
--   Found pangoft2, version 1.42.3
-- Found LTDL: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.so
-- LTDL_INCLUDE_DIR = /usr/include
-- LTDL_LIBRARY_DIR = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
-- LTDL_LIBRARIES = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.so
-- Checking for module 'pangocairo'
--   Found pangocairo, version 1.42.3
-- Not a Windows platform so setting wincairo driver to OFF.

I cross-checked this by downgrading cmake to 3.12.3 in Debian testing (buster).

Compilation of plplot (5.13) fails now on Debian after cmake was upgraded to 3.13.1. What I found is the calling "pkgconfig" does not work anymore for pango & Co., leaving the cairo driver diabled:

I don't know whether this is just an incompatibility or maybe a bug in cmake.
