CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:198 (message):
The command 'meson setup' failed with the output error:

command used : cmake -B build -DCPM_SOURCE_CACHE=pwd/Packages

[alwalidsalama]

Is there a reason why you want to pass -DCPM_SOURCE_CACHE? if you are just trying to build qbox for aarch64 try this:
cmake -Bbuild -DLIBQEMU_TARGETS=aarch64 -DGS_ENABLE_VIRCLRENDERER=OFF -DGS_ENABLE_VIRGLRENDERER=OFF

[alwalidsalama]

See if this helps

[alwalidsalama]

Please ensure that Meson is installed and accessible in your system’s PATH. You can verify this by running meson --version in your terminal.

[Aabhash23]

which meson
/home/.local/bin/meson

sir it is perfectly installed in my system path

[alwalidsalama]

It seems like you ended up installing the libslirp under /home/Desktop/qbox/Packages/libslirp which is expected by meson to be under <cmake_binary_dir>/_deps. Please remove your build directory and start again without setting -DCPM_SOURCE_CACHE

This comes up with another error

CMakeLists 217 : gs_addpackage(qemu/qemu GIT_SUBMODULES "CMakeLists.txt")

[Aabhash23]

set(GREENSOCS_GIT "" CACHE STRING "Git directory from which to clone all gs repositories")

Do i have to change anything in the above lines for GREENSOCS_GIT and QEMU_PATH_NAME

[alwalidsalama]

Hello @Aabhash23,
could you check what is the value of "${GIT_URL}" for you?
if it "" you may need to add this to your CMakeLists.txt#L14

diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
