But that's not because of Meson. It's just because Mesa authors wrote a code generator in Python; you'd need Mako even if the build system used autotools or hand-written makefiles.
- eddieh 5y agoOkay, my bad. I just tried a pre-Meson version of Mesa and you're right. I thought that Mako was some Meson extension...I didn't really look into it much. I was just annoyed when the build broke and Meson printed a message that looked like it was missing a dependency. Then I was doubly annoyed when pip told me Homebrew (or Linuxbrew) would break in the future. It seemed like Meson was a PITA, but that was my first experience with it. I was wrong and I apologize.
