Re: GtkSourceView autogen.sh problem

[Joachim Person <joachim person gmail com>]

I took the latest one from https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtksourceview/. 

Anyway, I downloaded the latest source from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview and tried to follow the installation instructions. But, (1) meson was not specified as a dependency - however, I did 'sudo apt install meson' and seemed to get product meson, (2) when I ran 'meson build' I got

$ meson build
The Meson build system
Version: 0.45.1
Source dir: /home/joachim/iipax/scripts_and_programs/mergetool/gtksourceview/git/gtksourceview
Build dir: /home/joachim/iipax/scripts_and_programs/mergetool/gtksourceview/git/gtksourceview/build
Build type: native build

meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 0.45.1 but project requires >= 0.49.0.

But 'sudo apt upgrade meson' tells me I already have the latest meson version:

"meson is already the newest version (0.45.1-2ubuntu0.18.04.1)."

How can I get the required meson version?

Maybe try a recent version. Looking at Git, the project isn't even using
Autotools anymore.
