The build of Gnucash on Linux Mint 22 (Wilma) (ubuntu 22.04) is failing
in cmake detecting glib2.0. The installed cmake version is 3.28.3

cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWITH_PYTHON=ON ../

-- Checking for module 'glib-2.0>=2.56.1'
--   Package 'glib-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.28/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:619
(message):
  The following required packages were not found:

   - glib-2.0>=2.56.1

Linux Mint 22 on my computer has glib2.0 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1  installed
but it is called 

libglib2.0-0t64.

This would appear to be a problem with how cmake checks for glib-2.0?

Any suggestions?

David
