worldofpeace: I was not sure how to answer it and then forgot about it

I am still not sure how to convince the people that it is ugly to build random paths throughout the source code

I think the least offensive thing for now would be factoring g-s-ctl into a meson subproject (look at GNOME shell, which does that with its tools)
<jtojnar>
add a pkg-config file
<jtojnar>
and then use the pkg-config file everywhere
