When using autotools to build libinput it is possible to pass --includedir=foo to configure to set a non default folder as include dir. This possibility seems to be missing from the meson build (or is non advertised). Please consider making this a possibility when using meson too.
mesonconf shows there is a 'includedir' option, so you should be able to pass this into meson with -Dincludedir='path' If this doesn't work, please file a bug with meson as this is a generic build system option, not one specific to libinput. Thanks
So the solution here finally dawned on me. In case someone lands on this bug via search, here goes: --includedir="%_includedir/%name" \ When passing the "standard" options to meson, they should be passed with --foo and not -Dfoo -- New build systems are a bugger sometimes ;-) - but this was indeed not a bug.
huh, interesting, thanks for the follow-up. mind you, iirc if you change it with mesonconf later, it should be with -D which is a tad inconsistent. Worth filing a meson bug for, I think.
