Hey all
First time trying to build / test numpy main branch, so I'm probably doing something wrong.
I brought down main and everything built on the first try. However I'm getting test failures related to meson.
Specifically the tests in "python -m pytest numpy/core/tests/test_mem_policy.py" all give errors. The errors seem related to meson and visual studio:
> Visual Studio environment is needed to run Ninja. It is recommended to use Meson wrapper:
/Users/douglas.turnbull/ws/numpy/venv/bin/meson compile -C .
> ERROR: Could not detect Ninja v1.8.2 or newer
This is an m1 mac with Python 3.11.4. Scrolling up in meson_log.txt I see a linker error:
> ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Seeing a note recommending gcc in the docs, I'm going to try using gcc rather than clang as next steps. But I wanted to share this issue if it is indeed one.
