Comment (by renodr):
Something interesting has happened with this version of evince.
It seems that the autotools files weren't generated/shipped (which
wouldn't be a problem, but autogen.sh fails!)
{{{

I have looked and there is a meson port available, however it seems to
still be quite buggy. Most of the commits in 3.36.2 and 3.36.3 were for
meson.
Should we port over to meson? I'll note that it's bad practice to remove
autotools support in a point release. I'll also need to build Texlive to
check on the CFLAGS before configure.
The other option would be to try to fix the autotools problems here.
Another would be to file a bug report upstream and hold for another
release (which isn't the optimal option in my opinion).
I'm leaning towards converting to meson in this case. I can build Texlive
tomorrow. Opinions please?
