install_man() doesn not take path of generated file

Question

I am working in a project where I need to build man page for geoclue.

I am using mesons's install_man() function (more detail here) to pass a generated file from configure_file() function (more detail here).

However I am getting an error that for install_man that the specified file does not exist.

Most probably because it is being generated at the same time using ninja -C build

Is there any way I could get it to work?

Got the answer from referring to this issue

do something like this foo = configure_file(...) then do install_man(foo)
