You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip'
command.
just use the meson PACKAGES.
apt-get install meson ninja
Because https://www.enlightenment.org/docs/distros/ubuntu-start said to
use sudo apt-get install ninja-build python3-pip
I did sudo apt-get purge ninja-build python3-pip to get rid of the two
packages I installed, but now if I try to apt-get install meson ninja I get
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
meson : Depends: ninja-build (>= 1.6) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
If I try to add ninja-build to the install command, it says
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ninja-build : Conflicts: ninja but 0.1.3-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
None of them have any autoconf.sh so it's impossible to build them.
well rage and terminology have autogen.sh .. autoGEN.sh. there never was an
autoconf.sh. always autogen.sh. these 3 all moved to meson.
My apologies...mistyping, I meant autogen.sh. Is it therefore impossible
to build enlightenment with autogen.sh and make?

Not useful if I can't get meson installed. Does this mean that support
for building will be only using meson in future? Is meson stable enough
for this move? It's clearly not there yet.
But I'm done with Bodhi.

:-) This is actually a pity, given their original philosophy.
