Classic Renault Diagnostics

As the definition of a "classic car" shifts with time, so too does the body of knowledge required to maintain them. I happen to own an early 1990s Renault 19 16V—a design classic by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

This car comes from a transitional era, before diagnostic standards like OBD2 were introduced. Back then, diagnostic plugs and communication protocols were anything but standardized. As a result, compatible diagnostic hardware is incredibly hard to come by.

Fortunately, an absolute legend in the community managed to extract the original diagnostics software and publish the source code on GitHub. That gave me a glimmer of hope.

I’ve hit a roadblock:

CairoGauge.hh:19:10: fatal error: cairomm/context.h: No such file or directory
19 | #include

If anyone out there takes pride in resurrecting underappreciated icons like this one, your help would go a long way in bringing this forgotten gem back to life.
