As 宋文武 suggests, glib-or-gtk-build-system may solve the problem if we add ‘hicolor-icon-theme’ to the inputs, because it would automatically add it to $XDG_DATA_DIRS. Wouldn’t it? Currently things like Evince, for instance, do find their icons. GIMP and Inkscape are fine too, but I think they use slightly different mechanisms. Thanks, Ludo’.
