meson setup build` failed

[wujastyk]

Describe the bug
Attempt to compile from source hit a wall.

To Reproduce
the meson setup build failed with a message about a not-found dependency on gjs-1.0:

meson setup build
The Meson build system
Version: 1.3.2
Source dir: /home/dom/Dropbox/git-repositories/foliate
Build dir: /home/dom/Dropbox/git-repositories/foliate/build
Build type: native build
Project name: com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate
Project version: 3.3.0
Host machine cpu family: x86_64
Host machine cpu: x86_64
Found pkg-config: YES (/usr/bin/pkg-config) 1.8.1
Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.28.3)
Run-time dependency gjs-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

meson.build:8:6: ERROR: Dependency "gjs-1.0" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

A full log can be found at /home/dom/Dropbox/git-repositories/foliate/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

There was no meson-log.txt file.

I could not find or install a gjs-1.0 dependency. gjs (ver. 1.80.2) is already installed.

Expected behavior
clean compile

Version:

• Foliate version:
• Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
• Cinnamon 6.6.7
• Installation method: compile from source
