As you can see at https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/,
the systemd sources do contain a meson.build file.
Indeed, there it is.
How did you get the systemd sources?
From http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemd/
(the link in the package page)
What's the output of ls -la
/home/andrea/devel/debug/20181228-systemd
At the beginning of the build, I have only these:
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrea andrea 161800 dic 29 10:40 systemd_239-13.debian.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrea andrea4864 dic 29 10:39 systemd_239-13.dsc
-rw-r--r-- 1 andrea andrea 7157293 dic 29 10:40 systemd_239.orig.tar.gz
Then I unpack systemd_239-13.debian.tar.xz (which doesn't have the
meson.build file in it) and try to build, getting the error.
I tried placing the file you provided directly in the toplevel directory
but it still fails. Now, *that* is odd!
Not sure if meson_options.txt is also supposed to be present but adding
it makes no difference.
Regards,
Andrea.
