      i3wm v19 must be installed using Meson the old method will no longer work..
      On antiX-19 Linux antix1 5.8.16-antix.1-amd64-smp #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 18 23:20:07 EEST 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

      Meson = 0.49.2-1 installed
      Meson = 0.52.1-1 (available version from Debian buster-backports.)

      After Meson install
      $i3 -v
      i3 version 4.19-2-g05b28d87 © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors

      How to use the new meson build system

      # to build
      mkdir -p build && cd build
      meson ..
      ninja
      # to install
      sudo ninja install

      Or alternatively let meson create the dir for you

      meson build # build is just the name of the directory

      # then either
      ninja -C build
      # or if you prefer
      cd build
      ninja

        I just built buster based versions. Care to try? Get the debs here:

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
