Description
Hi. I want to build a RetroPi for my odroid c1, however during the build not everything goes according to plan. Below I paste the log of the file ~/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/kmsxx/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
Build started at 2025-08-03T11:23:47.265963
Main binary: /usr/bin/python3
Python system: Linux
The Meson build system
Version: 0.45.1
Source dir: /home/odroid/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/kmsxx
Build dir: /home/odroid/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/kmsxx/build
Build type: native build
meson.build:45:7: ERROR: lexer
summary({
^
Does anyone know how to fix it?
BTW. I follow your instructions from https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Odroid-C1-C2/

Research direction
Start with ~/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/kmsxx/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt and the reported failure at meson.build:45. Check how the installed Meson 0.45.1 handles that location during the Odroid C1 build, then verify that the documented RetroPie build completes without the lexer error.
