Ninja Error: Undeclared (first use in this function) in Budgie Control Center

[JonathanVQP]

I received the following ninja error:
./panels/sound/cc-alert-chooser.c:139:30: error: *USER_DIR_MODE* undeclared (first use in this function) 139 g_mkdir_with_parents (dir, USER_DIR_MODE);

What distribution are you on, what Meson/Ninja version, what compiler, etc.

[JonathanVQP]

@serebit I am using the Photon OS Linux Vmware distro. Meson version: 1.1.0.rc2. Ninja version: 1.12.0.git. Compiler: gcc 12.2.0. I can resolve this issue by having a define of the USER_DIR_MODE variable (from the config.h in the build directory) to the cc-alert-chooser.c but it is weird that I have to do this!? I experienced this issue with Meson 1.0.0 so I thought that upgrading meson and ninja would resolve this but apparently it didn't.

Why are you using a git version of ninja and a rc version of meson rather than the stable series?

This could be a bug in these versions or a changed behaviour which would be slightly odd

[JonathanVQP]

I installed meson 1.1.0 version as well as the ninja 1.11.1. When I did the following:
git clone https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-control-center.git
git checkout main
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build && cd build
meson setup --prefix=/usr -Dcheese=true -Ddocumentation=false -Dibus=true -Dwayland=true .. 2>&1 | tee meson.out

I received the above error.

When Ubuntu catches up with the latest meson and ninja I can then take a look myself.

-Dwayland=true isn't necessary since its a X11 desktop - should be false.

If you build with the default options what happens?

meson --prefix=/usr

@fossfreedom When I build with the default options, I still get the same ninja error. Attached are the meson and ninja output.

[serebit]

What are the contents of build/config.h?

[JonathanVQP]

@serebit
config.h.txt

[serebit]

With those contents, I'm not sure why it would be failing—that C file includes config.h, and your config.h is showing that USER_DIR_MODE is defined there... This is an odd one.
