Error(s) that match a know pattern:


../gstreamer-vaapi-1.18.4/meson.build:205:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: /usr/bin/env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory
Run-time dependency libva-wayland found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Run-time dependency wayland-client found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Run-time dependency wayland-protocols found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2021-11-14 18:11:32 UTC]

meson.build runs a python script to enable a git hook, which seems rather silly. I would suggest patching this out.
