Ninja -C build stuck !

[jeyp4]

Hello I am trying to install latest gstreamer 1.17.x alongside stock
gstreamer 1.8.3 in ubuntu 16.04.
Following  gst-build <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build>  .

I cloned above 'gst-build' repository in a directory and ran 'meson build/'
command.  meson-log.txt
<http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/file/t379085/meson-log.txt>  .

Then installed ninja through 'sudo apt install ninja' and ran command 'ninja
-C build/'.
Now the terminal is stuck at
<http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/file/t379085/ninja.jpg>

I dont know what to do next. Can anyone help?

This doesn't look like the right "ninja". On older Ubuntu you might
have to install the ninja-build package instead (but it might not be
new enough for the latest Meson, tbd).

Also, your Meson build errors out according to your log file because it doesn't find flex or bison, so try

  sudo apt-get install flex bison

as well.

Cheers

I think that was a bug either in the png headers or iqa headers.

You should be able to work around it with:

  meson reconfigure -Dgst-plugins-bad:iqa=disabled build (or -C build)

  ninja -C build

Cheers

  meson reconfigure -Dgst-plugins-bad:iqa=disabled build (or -C build)

Will above command result in not installing gst-plugins-bad. I need some
plugins from this module.

And after opting this suggestion I am getting another below attached error.

Is there any tutorial which can lead me a stable install of all latest
gstreamer modules alongside with my stock gstreamer?
