Work around a bug in Meson versions < 0.50.0 where `--wrap-mode=nodownload` would disable the use of fallback subprojects, even if they’d already been downloaded, with the message: ``` Cross dependency libpcre found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake) Cross dependency libpcre found: NO (tried pkgconfig) Not looking for a fallback subproject for the dependency libpcre because: Use of fallbackdependencies is disabled. meson.build:1998:2: ERROR: Dependency "libpcre" not found, tried pkgconfig ``` This workaround can be dropped in the near future when we bump our Meson dependency to something less ancient. We have a self-imposed requirement to be buildable using what’s packaged in Debian Stable, which is currently Meson 0.49.2 — but the new Debian Stable release is coming soon, with an updated Meson. Using `--force-fallback-for=libpcre` would have been a more constrained workaround, but unfortunately that argument didn’t exist in Meson 0.49.

GLib
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
The official download locations are: https://download.gnome.org/sources/glib
The official web site is: https://www.gtk.org/
Installation
See the file 'INSTALL.in'
How to report bugs
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME issue tracking system. (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new). You will need to create an account for yourself.
In the bug report please include:
- Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
- And anything else you think is relevant.
- How to reproduce the bug.
- If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded.
- If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
- Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
Patches
Patches should also be submitted as merge requests to gitlab.gnome.org. If the patch fixes an existing issue, please refer to the issue in your commit message with the following notation (for issue 123): Closes: #123
Otherwise, create a new merge request that introduces the change, filing a separate issue is not required.
