The latest git pull of 2.99 won't build. It gives me the error

I think it just needed the rpm stuff for some reason. I installed rpm
(don't use it either).
I had to install a more recent gobject-introspection to get the more recent
appstream-glib to build. And yes, there's a bug with yaml and the meson
build system. see:
https://github.com/ximion/appstream/issues/146
I would add that you need a recent version of meson to get it to build
properly too.
I love dependency problems.
Indeed. :P
This is the worse case of dependency problems for GIMP I have had to deal
with in quite a while. I need to compile appstream-glib which needed about
three other -dev packages. I then hit the yaml issue which required the
newer glib-introspection program. Trying to compile that required some other
package I don't have. About this point I gave up on trying to build git
master branch of GIMP.
If/when I update my distro to Mint 19 I'll try again.
