Thanks a lot for these links. Using the Ubuntu 16.04 Meson package failed with
the following error:
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm guessing some language feature in Balsa's meson.build was introduced after
version 0.29.0, and before 0.37.1, but the output doesn't help locate it! The
'project()' function at the top of meson.build has a meson_version argument that
can be used to specify a minimum version. Perhaps, when meson and Balsa's meson
files have stabilized, we could find an appropriate specification. As it stands,
it looks like '>= 0.37.1' is a candidate.
After upgrading to the package from Debian Stretch (0.37.1), I could configure,
but not build, as Ninja is too old.
Can you also upgrade Ninja from Debian Stretch? Surely Meson and Ninja would be
kept compatible in a given distro!
Best,
Peter
