Meson not compiling

  • Lad_Flaver     8th Apr 2021 Member 0 Permalink
    I'm trying to compile TPT with meson but I keep getting this error "'TernaryNode' object has no attribute 'subdir'" I've tried looking up a solution for this but I haven't been able to find anything. Here (uploaded log to pastebin -- @LBPHacker ) is the entire output of the command "meson build-debug". If anyone knows how to fix this I would appriciate it.

     I don't know how to do that (I'm not very good at linux)

    Check this page: https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html

    It should be something like "sudo pip3 install --upgrade meson"

    I've upgraded meson succesfully but I'm still getting the same error.

    Try doing "sudo apt uninstall meson" and then restarting your terminal. It might be using the meson you installed from your package manager, instead of the meson from pip.

    Sorry to bring back this old thread but now after ensuring meson is updated I'm getting this error when I try to compile it.

     

    Pkg-config binary for machine MachineChoice.HOST not found. Giving up.

     

    I have no idea how to fix this and I haven't been able to find an answer online. Anyone have any ideas?

    Going to need the full log, like in the OP. Anyway, checking if you have the pkg-config package installed is a good starting point.

    I apologize for only being active somewhat. I'm only able to work on this a few days a week.

    Have you followed the Linux guide on the wiki? It doesn't look like you installed the libraries
