CMake and Ninja versions necessary

[waarmond]

I'm using Python 3.10, cmake 3.29.1 and ninja 1.11.1. I usually try first with my own versions to avoid env balkanization.

With meson 1.3.0:

running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./PhotoshopAPI/setup.py", line 153, in <module>
    setup(
[..]
    ninja_executable_path = Path(ninja.BIN_DIR) / "ninja"
AttributeError: module 'ninja' has no attribute 'BIN_DIR'

After updating to meson 1.4.0:

ERROR Missing dependencies:
	ninja
	cmake>=3.12

Which versions do you recommend?

Hey, I am not too familiar with the meson build system myself but I am personally running using ninja 1.11.0 through visual studio. Are you intending on building the wheels or the compiled .pyd yourself?

For the .pyd you only need to build via cmake while the wheels rely on the setup.py file. I myself only build the wheels through CI which is why I dont have a local example to go off of

Hi @waarmond, I just wanted to check in if you were able to get it working?
