meson.build:612:2: ERROR: Unknown compiler(s): ['cc']

travis-ci is hitting the same error currently: https://travis-ci.com/bincrafters/conan-glib/jobs/247503806

[ericLemanissier]

this bug is fixed by migrating to meson/0.51.2. Unfortunately this breaks windows compilation. we'll try with meson/0.52.0 when conan-io/conan-center-index#212 is merged

I pushed bincrafters/conan-glib@42ebcf0 to testing

GCC 4.9 is failing because of conan-io/conan-center-index#213

Windows failed in the 2.60.3 branch before this commit

Rest is still running at the time of writing, but looks good. WDYT?

[ericLemanissier]

for windows, I think we need to wait for the next version of meson, now that mesonbuild/meson#6101 is fixed.

As a Mac user, how would I build with the meson version 0.52.0 that contains the fix for Mac but breaks Windows?

I tried with the documentation for replacing a transitive dependency by defining it, but it still uses the Meson_installer 0.50.0 version.

Is there a work-around for this issue?

[ericLemanissier]

conan-io/conan-center-index#406 should be merged soon. In the meantime, you can install system version of meson 0.52.1, so that you don't rely on conan version of meson (https://github.com/bincrafters/conan-glib/blob/stable/2.58.3/conanfile.py#L74)

This recipe is now in the Conan Center Index.

Please migrate to the recipe version there.
If this is still an issue, please create a new issue in the Conan Center Index issue tracker.

Thanks!
