[sponsiak]

Hello everybody,

I'm pretty sure i'm doing something wrong but can't install mentioned applet (Github Link). I did install meson and all of dependecies. The way i tray to install it:

1. Downloaded zip file from the github and extracted it (Downloads folder)
2. Started Terminal in its location
3.

Code: Select all

mkdir build && cd build

and it worked
4.

Code: Select all

meson --prefix /usr --buildtype=plain ..

error with the following output:

Afterwards (the installation should be completed) There's no Pixel saver in applet menu, so it seems that the output above is incorrect.
Any idea this time ?
