   the "new" versions of muffin seems to embed libclutter and cogl instead of
   using the ones on the system, I'm not completely sure if that's something
   that we want to maintain as such or if we want to tweak the build script so
   it builds against the libs in the system. I would like to have some input
   about what you think about this.

   Apart from that, the muffin-plugins.pc pkg-config file is failing to expand
   the @CLUTTER_LIBS@ and @CLUTTER_CFLAGS@ variables (see: https://
   salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/muffin/-/jobs/286364), and I currently don't
   have the time to chase this issue down. This is probably related to the
   changes made in the embedding process but I didn't check much of it. If you
   have the time, we could do with a patch to fix this issue. Also this is an
   upstream issue, so feel free to forward it upstream and, if you made a
   patch, propose the patch upstream.

Hi, I posted to linux mint development chat on slack and the replies about:

   As for embedding clutter and cogl, I mentioned it here before because it
   annoys me too. But gnome are to blame, they did it to mutter and then
   abandoned standalone development. System clutter/cogl won't work because
   they have no fixes or development.

I think that use system clutter should be excluded.

   @Fantu interesting issue, but is anyone actually using that pc file? o_O

I also think that nobody use it and FWIK muffin is used only by cinnamon.

Thanks for checking with upstream. I guess we can ignore these issues for now, it would be nice it we could fix at least the pc file.

Happy hacking,
