Hello,
I have not installed the elogind version of the book, but doing a quick search
on the net, there has been occasion when a similar error was reported. and the
developers stated that it was because a certain file had not been included in
the code.
Doing a search of the code base of the meason options file I have found that
you should be able to disable the tests, so that your build can continue:
option('tests', type : 'combo', choices : ['true', 'unsafe', 'false']
So you would need to either edit the meson_options.txt file and set the value
to false, or override it from the command line.
Regards,
Christopher.
