Description

I am trying to build the Drawing app and has Meson Installed. When I ran `meson _build`, this happened.

How to overcome this error in here?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 build with `meson _build` and inspect `data/meson.build` at line 7, where Meson reports the invalid `None` value. Determine which configuration value resolves to `None`, then confirm that the build completes successfully on Windows.
