Error loading build.ninja

[Zhikun-Gan]

I am trying to build MeshaLab on Win10 by scripts provided, but when I run ./1_build.sh I get the error "ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified." It seems that there is no build.ninja provided in the repository. How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

There is not, because it is automatically generated by cmake.
I don't know how to fix your issue, but I am pretty sure you system does not have installed all the dependencies.

I'm facing the same error on MacOS M1:

/meshlab/scripts/macOS%.  bash 1_build.sh
...
