Meson® is a project to create the best possible next-generation
|
||
|
|
build system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
####Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Python http://python.org (version 3.4 or newer)
|
||
|
|
- Ninja http://martine.github.com/ninja/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
####Installing from source
|
||
|
|
You can run Meson directly from a revision control checkout or an
|
||
|
|
extracted tarball. Meson is also available from PyPi, so it can
|
||
|
|
be installed with 'pip install meson'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
####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 <source directory> <build directory>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`cd source_root; mkdir build; cd build; meson ..`
|
||
|
|
`cd source_root; mkdir build; meson build`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To compile, cd into your build directory and type `ninja`. To run unit
|
||
|
|
tests, type `ninja test`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install is the same but it can take an extra argument:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`DESTDIR=/destdir/path ninja install`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`DESTDIR` can be omitted. If you are installing to system directories,
|
||
|
|
you may need to run this command with sudo.
