It's very odd to me that Manjaros pkg-config doesn't include that 
pkg-config path by default and also doesn't include that library 
path by default, every distro I've so far used did that.

Can you show us your meson.build? You need to set `dependencies:` 
properly to include all dependencies so ninja includes the right 
dirs and links the required libraries. You can look at other 
projects using D for that, e.g. I do it like this:
