Description

Description

Issue identified that meson build does not install nlohmann_json*.cmake files into /usr/share/cmake/nlohmann_json, so packages expecting these .cmake files are unable to build.

Ref: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/7250

we have reverted back to cmake builds for the time being. ** Our package build system prefers meson over cmake

Research direction
Inspect the meson.build files to ensure nlohmann json*.cmake files are installed. Review how CMake handles installation of those files and replicate that in meson. Check the meson port for any missing install steps.
