Strange issue with -Dprefix about dxvk HOT 7 CLOSED

Sounds like a Meson bug to me. Someone else reported this on Discord and apparently it works if you add some sleep commands to your script. Don't ask me why though, I cannot reproduce this on my machine.

I'm not sure whether it works with configure, but you can try --prefix instead of -Dprefix. (iirc I've read somewhere that -Dprefix was bugged in some meson version or something)

I found a fix for this by installing the latest version of ninja, please see my comment in #11 for more details.

Edit: actually it's not a problem with the version of ninja, but rather with its location. Maybe you can simply copy the binary to your home and use that path to compile.

thx for all the hints. for me it also looks like some strange bug, cause sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't . I will first bring in a sleep between the configure and the ninja command, lets see if it helps.

Closing this due to lack of activity, and it doesn't really look like a dxvk bug in the first place.

@doitsujin : as you mentioned it is indeed no dxvk bug, I added some sleeps to my script and now it works reliable.

@pingubot Have you tried sync?
