Hi, I'm trying to build with meson.
-------------------------------
rm -rf builddir
meson setup \
--prefix=/usr/local/pg_master \
-Ddebug=true \
--bindir=/usr/local/pg_master \
--datadir=/usr/local/pg_master \
-Dpgport=1600 \
builddir
cd builddir
ninja
ninja install

Well the error is quite intuitive. Then I tried to install meson 0.61.2.
Then all things work as intended.
