build fail on Debian Sid

[mir07]

When following build instructions in README.md I get this error message:

/libxed.so.p/xed-app.c.o -c ../xed/xed-app.c
../xed/xed-app.c:41:10: fatal error: girepository.h: No such file or directory
41 | #include <girepository.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

$ dpkg -S girepository.h
libgirepository-2.0-dev:amd64: /usr/include/glib-2.0/girepository/girepository.h
libgirepository-1.0-dev:amd64: /usr/include/gobject-introspection-1.0/girepository.h

So the "missing" file is installed on my system.

How to I fix this?

You will need to patch the code for libpeas ABI change

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xed/blob/rawhide/f/libpeas_libgirepository2.patch

Many thanks. That did the trick

For others coming by.

1. copy the patch to the top source folder
2. patch -p1 < libpeas_libgirepository2.patch
3. follow the instructions in the README.md
