I'm using Manjaro XFCE latest stable kernel. Any thoughts?

[bleakgrey]

Looks like meson can't find GTK3: Dependency gtk+-3.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

You may need to tweak dependency('gtk+-3.0', version: '>=3.22.0'), line in the build.meson file to point to the right dependency.

I think someone has already ported Tootle to Arch, by the way. Did you try searching Tootle in AUR?

This seems similar to an issue I had recently. Quoting a comment from the relevant thread:

Homebrew's pkg-config only reports packages installed by Homebrew

For me the solution was to use the distro's pkg-config instead of Homebrew's.
