# Project templates |
|
|
|
To make it easier for new developers to start working, Meson ships a |
|
tool to generate the basic setup of different kinds of projects. This |
|
functionality can be accessed with the `meson init` command. A typical |
|
project setup would go like this: |
|
|
|
```console |
|
$ mkdir project_name |
|
$ cd project_name |
|
$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1 |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This would create the build definitions for a helloworld type |
|
project. The result can be compiled as usual. For example it |
|
could be done like this: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
$ meson setup builddir |
|
$ meson compile -C builddir |
|
``` |
|
|
|
The generator has many different projects and settings. They can all |
|
be listed by invoking the command `meson init --help`. |
|
|
|
This feature is available since Meson version 0.45.0. |

# Generate a build script for an existing project |
|
|
|
With `meson init` you can generate a build script for an existing |
|
project with existing project files by running the command in the |
|
root directory of your project. Meson currently supports this |
|
feature for `executable`, and `jar` projects. |
|
|
|
# Build after generation of template |
|
|
|
It is possible to have Meson generate a build directory from the |
|
`meson init` command without running `meson setup`. This is done |
|
by passing `-b` or `--build` switch. |
|
|
|
```console |
|
$ mkdir project_name |
|
$ cd project_name |
|
$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1 --build |
|
``` |
