pulseaudio-daemon-17.0 can't find pulsecommon

I'm trying to emerge pulseaudio-daemon-17.0 with libpulse-17.0 and I'm getting the following error:

Code: Select all

src/meson.build:197:26: ERROR: C shared or static library 'pulsecommon-17.0' not found
There was a thread from 2022 about the same error for pulseaudio-daemon-16.1/16.0 caused by some build issues between the two versions.

Worst case scenario I'll just use the older 16.x, but does anyone have any idea why 17.0 is seeing this error?

Please share the information Portage tells you to when seeking support, it's at the end of the error. We'll also likely need meson-log.txt.

Please share the full logs via a pastebin, including (missing) emerge --info. Also, ::chromiumos? What's that about?
