Hi all, I am trying to package lix (https://lix.systems/). I managed to find almost all dependencies, I had to build some myself. Now I am stuck where I install the pegtl-devel package, but this dependency is not found during the "meson setup build".

As the package originates in the Nix ecosystem, my guess it that it looks in the wrong place due to different packaging. Is there any way I can tell meson (or the underlying cmake) where it can find this dependency? The dependency is defined in line 314 and contains "taocpp::pegtl".

The package puts the files into "tao/pegtl" (without the "cpp"), not sure if that is the reason it is not found? Here is the link to my package:

(Currently unresolvable due to me trying to package aws-sdk-cpp as I missed that it is already available in Cloud:Tools...). Thanks in advance! Kind Regards, Johannes
