Hi Junio,

Attempting to configure a meson build of the current 'seen'@916e0fb7c0
branch, I find:

  $ meson setup --optimization=2 -Dprefix=$HOME -Dpcre2=disabled build/
  The Meson build system
  ...

  meson.build:769:46: ERROR: Unknown variable "target_shell".

  A full log can be found at /home/ramsay/git/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
  $ 

It appears that the tip commit 916e0fb7c0 (Merge branch 'ps/meson-build-perf-bench'
into seen, 2025-04-14) drops the call to 'find_program()' which sets/defines the
'target_shell' variable.

The following diff allows me to configure the build:

  $ git diff
  diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build
  index 015ead27e6..4d537b7a00 100644
  --- a/meson.build
  +++ b/meson.build
  @@ -237,6 +237,8 @@ shell = find_program('sh', dirs: program_path, native: true)
   tar = find_program('tar', dirs: program_path, native: true)
   time = find_program('time', dirs: program_path, native: true, required: false)
 
  +target_shell = find_program('sh', dirs: program_path, native: false)
  +
   # Sanity-check that programs required for the build exist.
   foreach tool : ['cat', 'cut', 'grep', 'sort', 'tr', 'uname']
     find_program(tool, dirs: program_path, native: true)
  $ 

This allows me to compile the project (I'm still waiting for the test run to
finish).

HTH

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
