Describe the bug
Venom fails to build, and displays the error:
ERROR: Language Vala does not support position-independent executable
To Reproduce
Installed via the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/venom/
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Archlinux
- Version 0.5.3
Additional context
Attached is the meson-log
meson-log.txt
Can confirm, happens to me as well after updating meson to the latest stable version.

Might be a packaging issue (I.e. PIE is maybe just not possible with vala).
I've asked on their irc channel.
Responsible commit in the meson package:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/meson&id=932dd4ee1b86e854327a9d0a554eb05a9b34230e
You can use this PKGBUILD file in the meantime:
https://gist.github.com/naxuroqa/a5984f9940a86d28dce3c8f1fdd85f70
Depending on their answer in the IRC channel I'll either fix this in the meson config (if possible), or use this PKGBUILD file for the aur package.
same issue here
Should be fixed in 0.5.3-2 (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=venom&id=9f83937a346ba84324362fc3d13955cc30f22fb3)
Please let me know if you still run into any build errors.
