GNOME dependency issue

[io-qar]

I ma trying to install Shumate. I added it to the build file:

nearby_deps = [
  config_dep,
  dependency('gtk4'),
  dependency('libadwaita-1', version: '>= 1.4'),
  dependency('shumate-1.0')
]

As I am running Fedora 42, I installed libshumate and libshumate-devel, but Meson still tells me the library cannot be found:

Library config found: YES
Program msgfmt found: YES (/usr/bin/msgfmt)
Program desktop-file-validate found: YES (/usr/bin/desktop-file-validate)
Program appstreamcli found: YES (/usr/bin/appstreamcli)
Program glib-compile-schemas found: YES (/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas)

Run-time dependency shumate-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

../../../../../nearby/src/meson.build:11:2: ERROR: Dependency "shumate-1.0" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

Looking in the log file I found this:


So, Meson somehow doesn't have my lib64 folder in mind while building the project for some reason. I copied the .pc file from lib64 to lib, but it didn't help.

What do I do wrong?

So, Meson somehow doesn't have my lib64 folder in mind while building the project for some reason. I copied the .pc file from lib64 to lib, but it didn't help.

It also has /app/lib/pkgconfig, which feels like this is a $PKG_CONFIG_PATH that was set by a flatpak builder. I wonder if your environment is simply dirty from old settings?

@eli-schwartz basically, the variable is empty. And it's my first project, so it's very unlikely
