[Shotwell] Need help with compiling

[Kent Tenney <ktenney gmail com>]

Howdy,

I don't know if this is appropriate for this list, but here goes.

Trying to build trunk on Ubuntu 18.04

in shotwell:

meson build

fails because 

Invalid version of dependency, need 'gexiv2' ['>= 0.11.0'] found '0.10.8'.

in gexiv2, meson build looks good, but

ninja -C build

fails with

ninja: Entering directory `build'
