Cannot add avahi dependency in meson build

Question

I wanted to use the header files for avahi in gnome-control-center. However, when I add the dependency in meson.build file, it gives me this error.

But pkg-config seems to work on the system.

This is how I added the dependency is meson.build

Do I also need to configure something else?

I have already tried using avahi_client_dep = dependency('avahi-client', method : 'system') but get the same error.

Can someone help?

Answer 1

Adding a module for avahi in the flatpak's manifest worked.
