ERROR: Could not detect Ninja v1.8.2 or newer - Meson

Question

When I try to run Meson, It complains that it can't find Ninja v1.8.2 or newer. I ran this:

meson build-debug

This resulted in the error explained above. I have the latest tools:

Ninja v1.10.2

Meson 0.61.2

x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022

Nance

Answer 1

Reinstalling ninja (v1.10.2.3) via pip fixed this for me (Arch Linux, Meson 0.61.2). Simply execute the following code in your command line (e.g., Bash)

pip3 install --force-reinstall ninja
