#### Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Python](https://python.org) (version 3.5 or newer)
|
||
|
|
- [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org) (version 1.7 or newer)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Installing from source
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meson is available on [PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/meson), so
|
||
|
|
it can be installed with `pip3 install meson`. The exact command to
|
||
|
|
type to install with `pip` can vary between systems, be sure to use
|
||
|
|
the Python 3 version of `pip`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you wish you can install it locally with the standard Python command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
python3 -m pip install meson
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For builds using Ninja, Ninja can be downloaded directly from Ninja
|
||
|
|
[GitHub release page](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)
|
||
|
|
or via [PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ninja)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
python3 -m pip install ninja
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More on Installing Meson build can be found at the
|
||
|
|
[getting meson page](https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Running
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meson requires that you have a source directory and a build directory
|
||
|
|
and that these two are different. In your source root must exist a
|
||
|
|
file called `meson.build`. To generate the build system run this
|
||
|
|
command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`meson setup <source directory> <build directory>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending on how you obtained Meson the command might also be called
|
||
|
|
`meson.py` instead of plain `meson`. In the rest of this document we
|
||
|
|
are going to use the latter form.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can omit either of the two directories, and Meson will substitute
|
||
|
|
the current directory and autodetect what you mean. This allows you to
|
||
|
|
do things like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
cd <source root>
|
||
|
|
meson setup builddir
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To compile, cd into your build directory and type `ninja`. To run unit
|
||
|
|
tests, type `ninja test`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
