From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx> Some distros split glib-mkenums and other GLib build utilities into a separate package but the glib-2.0 pkgconfig file pointing to it is typically shipped as part of the -dev package. This can lead to a situation where configure thinks it knows where glib-mkenums is but make then fails because it's not really installed on the system. Check the existence of the actual executable in addition to querying pkgconfig.
