No module named '_ctypes' when trying to build Meson

pasha444 · 06-25-2022, 04:35 PM

I have installed libffi from the book

Error log:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sources/meson-0.61.1/setup.py", line 23, in <module>

I think you're confused. The libffi build doesn't use meson.

Try re-compile these (on order) --> Libffi, Python3, Ninja, before re-compile Meson.
