Hey buddy, thank you. I'm trying to get it to work but it does end up
giving me one error or the other every time I do "meson build". The current
terminal and error log is as follows:

I'm sorry I keep messaging you, I know you're not a "helpdesk" but I'm not
able to find anything on google at the moment (probably because the newest
update is still very new). If nothing, I think I might just install the
previous version since ./configure, make and make install were much easier
to get a better understanding of.

Thanks!
