No, that just has efl, enlightenment, and terminology. Maybe Mint's meson did call it ninja-build, it has long scrolled off the console. The point was, I didn't have to mention it; installing meson included it automatically as a dependency, whereas mentioning it explicitly caused an error, which I though was weird. > well niko's repo is that.. a non-distro repo custom filled with specific pkgs > that dont come from the distro. :) Yes, that's why I mentioned it. > well either way the output you had above with meson and ninja-build errors > says > that some meson package somewhere apt is trying to install requires > ninja-build and its having trouble getting ninja-build installed. No, exactly the opposite. Installing meson automatically included ninja (-build or not, I can't remember now) as a dependency. It only gave an error if I tried to include the package name on the command line. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
