This is an experiment to examine what would be
the optimal syntax for a cross-platform build
system.
Dependencies: Python3 and Python-Ply
Installing from source
You can run Meson directly from a revision control checkout.
Installing it system-wide is simple.
Configure step: None
Compile step: ./compile_meson.py
Install step: [sudo] ./install_meson.py --prefix /your/prefix --destdir /destdir/path
The default value of prefix is /usr/local. The default value of destdir
is empty.
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.py <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 mean that you
can do things like this:
cd source_root; mkdir build; cd build; meson.py ..
cd source_root; mkdir build; meson.py build
