Build is failing: meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 1.0.0 but project requires >= 1.2.0

Hey,

I just cloned the repo and tried to build it, but during building the docker container i run into an error:

Is there any simple way to fix this?

One thing you could try is in Dockerfile.base replace pip3 install git+https://github.com/kleisauke/meson@wasm-vips with pip3 install git+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson. It could be that it will work out of the box now.

Thanks, I experienced the same issue and your suggestion allowed me to go one step further. A new error occurred and I had to also install "packaging" to fix it : pip3 install packaging git+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson.

Unfortunately, I'm still not able to build on a Mac with an M2 CPU: The first problem is due to an architecture mismatch, and so Docker tries to pull openscad-base from the remote even if the image exists locally (but for AMD64) stackoverflow

It can be solved by adding --platform linux/amd64 to the docker run and docker build commands in the Makefile. But then new errors show. I've tried many things but without success.
