Comment:
I've also just tried this:

- moved 'synctex.pc' to some random directory I made up (say '/boo');

- set the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable to that directory:

```
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/boo
```

- ran the `meson` command as before:

```
meson --prefix /usr build
```
It find `synctex`! So you can add directories to whatever search path is already built into `meson` for `pkg-config`. In your case maybe try something like

```
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
```
before running the `meson` command.
