When building the library using a tarball or a .zip archive there's no .git dir in the project root. And, consequently, you'll get the following message in the stderr:
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
That doesn't prevent the configuration, but the red message is still annoying.
The simplest solution is to add ERROR_QUIET to the command above. That will also fix the git: not found message in case you have a git-less environment (e.g., FROM alpine in docker), but may silence other errors if any.
I'm not familiar with meson, but perhaps this should be fixed too:
