Neither directory contains a build file meson.build

I'm trying to build, i clone and cd into directory but even with meson/ninja and all the dependencies installed, it gives me this error

Hi, I think you forgot to put the actual error message in. 😉

Which branch are you using? I suggest using feature/dual_kawase as its the most recent and based on the current development version of picom. Check it out with git checkout feature/dual_kawase.
It's readme includes the required commands to build:

$ meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build

The binary will be at build/src/picom, or you can install it with ninja -C build install.

Edit: Just seen, you put the error message in the title... 🤦

@hrqmonteiro Did you manage to resolve the issue?
