Right. I missed that completely > did you try install ninja-build on its own and see what version it was? No, I just omitted it from the list, and it got included as a dependency on meson, so it all installed. Haven't had time to do anything with it yet though. > perhaps its too old? did you customize the pkg repo urls No, everything is stock.

No, just the naming. Mint has no such animal as ninja-build, apparently, just plain ninja, and it gets installed along with meson. > but that'd be a > pretty horrible break there, so my suspects are custom pkg repos of your own > breaking up dependencies somehow... It would be pretty bad, but I don't do custom pkg repos, fortunately. If what I need can't be provided from stock, I switch Linux distro to one that can (why I ditched Xubuntu for Mint). Like I said: I'm an end user — I don't have the freedom to experiment at the moment; the best I can do right now is to donate to the support of a distro. When I retire things will be different, I hope — time to experiment and contribute :-) ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
