[debhelper-devel] Bug#864369: debhelper: meson

[Jeremy Bicha]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.4

I am trying to use debhelper's new meson support to build a new
version of gnome-tweak-tool but it's failing. It obviously works for
some other packages though.

https://git.launchpad.net/~jbicha/gnome-tweak-tool

dh build --with gnome,python3 --buildsystem=meson
   dh_testdir -O--buildsystem=meson
   dh_update_autotools_config -O--buildsystem=meson
   dh_autoreconf -O--buildsystem=meson
   dh_auto_configure -O--buildsystem=meson
    meson .. --wrap-mode=nodownload --buildtype=plain --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
--libexecdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
dh_auto_configure: meson .. --wrap-mode=nodownload --buildtype=plain
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --libexecdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu failed
to to execute: No such file or directory
debian/rules:6: recipe for target 'build' failed


Other Info
---------------
Technically, I am using Ubuntu's debhelper 10.4ubuntu3 which is very
similar to Debian's version with a few git patches backported.

I tried adding a meson_options.txt in case debhelper wanted that but
that didn't seem to make a difference. I guess the problem is figuring
out what file debhelper/meson is trying to execute.

Thanks,
