Meson build error on Debian 9 Stretch
Created by: second-story
Environment
- Eolie version: 0.9.2
- GNOME version: 3.22.2
- GTK+ version: 3.22.11-1
- GNU/Linux distribution: Debian 9 Stretch
I cloned Eolie and tried to build it for my Debian 9 system, but Meson errors out right after executing meson build
. Meson gives the following error message:

Meson encountered an error in file meson.build, line 18, column 0:
Could not generate cargs for gtk+-3.0:
Which is odd, since my gtk3 meets the requirements. Specifically, I have libgtk-3-0:amd64, libgtk-3-bin, libgtk-3-common, and libgtk-3-dev:amd64 installed to my system, and each is version 3.22.11-1.
Am I missing a dependency or is this something else?
Your work on Lollypop is amazing, btw. Really looking forward to using this program too.
