Meson® is 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. Installing it system-wide is simple.
Configure step: None
Compile step: None
Unit test step: ./run_tests.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 <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.
Contributing
We love code contributions. See the contributing.txt file for
