Description
I'm currently having an issue using meson-python in an environment where I cannot install ninja system-wide.
In particular, I'm in a venv
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e . # has `requires = ["meson-python"]`Which results in the following ninja:
Found ninja-1.11.1.git.kitware.jobserver-1 at /tmp/pip-build-env-3_c2bhz3/normal/bin/ninja
However, this doesn't work in the venv:
>>> import constellation

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-build-env-3_c2bhz3/normal/bin/ninja'
I also tried installing ninja in the venv and setting the NINJA env var, but this also doesn't work:
meson-python: error: Could not find ninja version 1.8.2 or newer.
which I think is because this is called outside of the venv - ninja --version in the venv is fine.
