--- Comment #5 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
I tried to recreate the problem locally on my x86_64 Ubuntu 18.04.2 box using
current libinput git source, but
meson --prefix=/usr -Ddocumentation=false builddir/
results in a failure:

Running test binary command:
/home/alan/src/libinput/builddir/meson-private/sanitycheckcpp.exe
Native C++ compiler: c++ (gcc 7.4.0 "c++ (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1)
7.4.0")
Determining dependency 'check' with pkg-config executable '/usr/bin/pkg-config'

meson.build:682:1: ERROR: Native dependency 'check' not found

Obviously, building with -Dtests=false isn't an option since the linker problem
occurred building one of the tests.
