Ok so I installed F37, built systemd and ran mkosi, but it failed as well.
mkosi version 14 from package manager:
   - dnf issues
  - https://gist.github.com/williamcroberts/492f29132582aa363710878e85f7db13
built from source (commit 6332528b0)
  - dnf issues
  - https://gist.github.com/williamcroberts/8923ac33413a448c737b6534f2a7c4c7
mkosi-13 from package manager:
  - failed to find meson (meson is installed and sudo env can see it)
  - https://gist.github.com/williamcroberts/f2ace4cb3ab053b2d6ff547309b7b563

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
