I just fixed up the entire package. The problem seems to be that while
auto_build runs ninja to build things, it later doesn't run ninja
install to install stuff into the right place. I fixed that by
invoking ninja manually. The other thing was the Meson dependency
issue, and that you actually never installed anything into your
package (.install files missing, or other means to split development
files from the actual library).

It should work now :-)
