Quick follow up to this... I checked the ubuntu package database
(packages.ubuntu.com) and ran a search for the ubuntu provided meson
package:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=meson&searchon=names&suite=focal§ion=all
Ubuntu 20.04 includes meson 0.53.2. This matches what you get when you
run 'meson --version'. So this means pip3 is either not installing meson
(because meson is already installed) or it is installing it to a virtual
environment outside your normal $PATH variable. There are a few
different ways to fix that but it kind of depends on what pip3 says when
you try to install meson.
You need to figure out where pip3 is installing meson or if it is
returning errors due to meson already being installed.

This was installed as part of slackware so it's an upstream package as
part of my distribution. You are trying to install it via pip which
basically just downloads whatever the python people feel is
appropriate from pypi.org. I don't really understand how pip resolves
dependencies so it might get stuck on a specific version for reasons
that are not obvious.
Does your distro offer a meson package through whatever repos they
provide? Since meson is a generic build system it's usually better to
use the distro package and most distros will make sure to provide it.

Folks,
Is anyone using Wayland with Wayfire? I am trying to make
it cook but so far I get down to the very last piece on the install
and I get all kinds of errors. I am using the install scripts for
Ubuntu 20.04, here is the link to the instructions.
https://github.com/DurandA/wayfire/wiki/Ubuntu-20.04-installation
I get down to the point where I do the wlroots build and install
and it tosses the following error:
meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 0.53.2 but project requires
=0.54.0
I do the following:
which meson && meson --version
and get:
/usr/bin/meson
0.53.2
I am trying to figure out how to force it to go to ver:
0.54.0
I am using the command:
pip3 install meson ninja
As indicated by the instructions. I am trying to figure
out how to force it to pull the 0.54 ver, that is supposed
to be a python pull (they advise elsewhere against using
apt to do the install exactly due to apt pulling an older
rev level)
I have pulled a lot of things from GitHub but never run
into this before.
I want to try the 3D effects on Wayland one of the items
that I am interested in is the "cube" or whatever number
of desktops. If I can make it work I want to test it and see
if I can migrate to Wayland and get on something more
modern and not so intensive as Compiz. Love it but I think
it is time to start looking at leaving it. Wayland appears to
be much less resource intensive, yet I can keep my cube
and other effects.
