Title:
gnome-software-dev misses dependencies required for development
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Installing package gnome-software-dev doesn't satisfy all of
dependencies needed for development.
After installing it there are still missing libraries needed for
compilation of basic examples provided by gnome
(https://developer.gnome.org/gnome-software/stable/plugins.html - the
first example from here)
```
~/plugin$ gcc -shared -o libgs_plugin_example.so gs-plugin-example.c -fPIC
`pkg-config --libs --cflags gnome-software`
-DI_KNOW_THE_GNOME_SOFTWARE_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE && sudo cp
libgs_plugin_example.so `pkg-config gnome-software --variable=plugindir`
Package json-glib-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `json-glib-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'json-glib-1.0', required by 'gnome-software', not found
gs-plugin-example.c:5:10: fatal error: gnome-software.h: No such file or
directory
5 | #include <gnome-software.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
```
