Sorry for the delay in responding:
MESON=/Users/christophersherlock/.local/bin/meson
I tried to build without the homebrew meson and /usr/bin/python said it
couldn’t find mesonbuild which is odd since I installed it via pip3
So I have now run:
/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install meson
And hey presto, now it all works.
Thanks Patrick, you definitely helped point me to the right solution.
