Description

When using gnome.generate_gir and specifying a list of sources to scan with sources keyword argument, there is no dependency between generated GIR XML file and those sources (unless the target happens to depend on them as well, which is very likely but not necessarily true).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the dependency tracking in Meson's gnome module for generate gir. Identify where the dependency between the GIR file and source files should be added.
