Ubuntu 22.04.5 fails to build: undefined references to various adw_ functions

Here's the compile error:

It appears to be that the linker is unable to locate the adw_ functions referenced in various files. Originally, it would show me logs with warnings and suggested changes (those changes largely being to switch the adw_ functions with gtk_ functions), and I tried making those changes to see if that'd do anything, but that just gave me a different error. I've made sure that all dependencies are satisfied, and I got all packages straight from my repos; including libadwaita.

Which version are you building? Could you try with latest commit?

[MMachado05]

@AlynxZhou I'm building with the 1.17.0 commit, the latest one. That's where the error appears.

[AlynxZhou]

What's you libadwaita version?

[MMachado05]

Seems to be 1.1.7, that's what's available in Ubuntu 22.05's repos.
