Documentation problem
Meson required a C++ compiler in order to build pandas. However, the docs only mentioned installing a C compiler. This is a portion of the output log from running python -m pip install -ve . --no-build-isolation
` The Meson build system
Version: 1.0.1
Source dir: /home/william/Work/pandas
Build dir: /home/william/Work/pandas/build/cp310
Build type: native build
Project name: pandas
Project version: 2.2.0dev0+216.g705d4312cf
C compiler for the host machine: cc (gcc 11.4.0 "cc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0")
C linker for the host machine: cc ld.bfd 2.38
../../meson.build:2:0: ERROR: Unknown compiler(s): [['c++'], ['g++'], ['clang++'], ['nvc++'], ['pgc++'], ['icpc'], ['icpx']]
The following exception(s) were encountered:
Running c++ --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c++'"
Running g++ --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'g++'"
Running clang++ --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'clang++'"
Running nvc++ --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nvc++'"
Running pgc++ --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pgc++'"
Running icpc --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'icpc'"
Running icpx --version gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'icpx'"
`
I'm not confident this isn't a me issue.
Using
Python 3.10.12
pip 22.0.2
setuptools 59.6.0
Suggested fix for documentation
Add a section explaining that a C++ compiler is also required
