Comment:
Hmm.. OK, so you have `pkg-config`, which in turn the `meson` build system will use to look for dependencies. Can you find the `pkg-config` file for `libsynctex`? Try something like

```
find /usr/ -name *.pc |grep synctex
```
What does that return? For me it finds 

```
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/synctex.pc
```

I have checked that if I move that file out of the way temporarily, then running

```
meson --prefix /usr build
```
in the root folder of the `zathura` repo will fail to find `synctex`, just as in your case. If I move it back that command *will* find it.
