If I try to add ninja-build to the install command, it says
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ninja-build : Conflicts: ninja but 0.1.3-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
well obviously ... you have a conflict.
Even I can see that. But I don't know how to solve it.
remove ninja then and install ninja-build...
Removing ninja was what caused the problem in the first place.
correct. it's no longer make. it's meson + ninja.
OK, thanks.
yes. only meson. i think you have issues at your end. see above. just fix your
conflicts.
I'm afraid I have work to do, so it'll have to stay broken for the
moment. My only issue is with software that doesn't install, as I reported:
>> Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
>> /tmp/pip-build-ruyohi9b/meson/
a lot of projects have moved to meson:
gtk+
glib
mesa
wayland
weston
I'm an end user of Linux, not a Linux developer. They must use whatever
toolset is appropriate; those aren't projects I would ever need to
compile myself.
Problem fixed, however; after testing in a sacrificial Mint environment,
the PPA solution worked just fine.
One curiosity: E suggests I install connman for my network connections.
Last time I looked at connman it was still being developed. Is it worth
switching from whatever regular distros provide (nm, I assume)?
