Looking at my own logs for glib-2.58.3, I see a lot of moaning from
meson, but it all installed ok. For glib itself (and similarly for
several other libraries it installed) I have
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.5800.3
Looking at the pkgconfig file,
prefix=/usr
libdir=${prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
bindir=${prefix}/bin
glib_genmarshal=${bindir}/glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=${bindir}/gobject-query
glib_mkenums=${bindir}/glib-mkenums
Name: GLib
Description: C Utility Library
Version: 2.58.3
Requires.private: libpcre >= 8.31
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0
Libs.private: -pthread
Cflags: -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include
So, you ought to have all of those from 2.58.3.
Will an older version which used configure and make work ? That
depends on the minimum versions which the packages using it require.
Unfortunately, the log from 2.58.3's install is not especially
verbose: in my case I can see it installed the library, but no
information on the messy details (e.g. the symlinks).
If it did install the pkgconfig file from 2.58.3, then I suspect
perhaps a problem with symlinks. But if you have installed an older
version since then, that probably overwrote everything except the
.so.0.5800.3 libraries. And it certainly overwrote the pkgconfig
file.
