My builds keep failing with this error in the make log

src-gstreamer/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Meson version is 1.0.1 but project requires >= 1.4

Problem is I can't find a single version of meson on the machine that's not 1.4.0 so I'm really lost as to where it's picking up this 1.0.1 version from. I even looked up all executable files named 'meson' and ran them with "-v" and they all returned 1.4.0.

My environment...

  • ubuntu 20.04 VM
  • Checked out tag proton-9.0-4 and made sure to update all the submodules
  • Using docker as container engine
  • Make command: make UNSTRIPPED_BUILD=1 redist
