Ninja : Unknown IO error - Ubuntu 22.04

raphy@raohy:~/gtkmm-4.8.0$ meson setup --prefix /usr --libdir lib your_builddir .
The Meson build system
Version: 1.3.0
Source dir: /home/raphy/gtkmm-4.8.0
Build dir: /home/raphy/gtkmm-4.8.0/your_builddir

For size limits I’ve put the entire output of meson setup --prefix /usr --libdir lib your_builddir . command in google drive : MesonSetupExecutionOutput.txt - Google Drive

Execuing ninja got this error:

raphy@raohy:~/gtkmm-4.8.0/your_builddir$ ninja

How to make it work?

Install the docbook5-xml and docbook-xsl packages.

See issue libsigcplusplus#101
