config-post.h was moved to config.h when we converted to Meson.
There are probably some leftovers from a previous build in your build
directory. Can you try it with an empty build directory?
Thanks, just done cloning a new one from the official repo, but meson build reports an error:
src/util/meson.build:138:0: ERROR: Program '/opt/projects/libvirt/src/keycodemapdb/tools/keymap-gen' not found
Is there anything I should do before "meson build"?
OK, solved this one with network proxy (seems that meson needs to download it).

I have
