History

Dylan Baker 63f4f9481e Add new compiler.get_argument_syntax method Some compilers try very had to pretend they're another compiler (ICC pretends to be GCC and Linux and MacOS, and MSVC on windows), Clang behaves much like GCC, but now also has clang-cl, which behaves like MSVC. This method provides an easy way to determine whether testing for MSVC like arguments `/w1234` or gcc like arguments `-Wfoo` are likely to succeed, without having to check for dozens of compilers and the host operating system, (as you would otherwise have to do with ICC).		6 years ago

Meson Documentation

Build dependencies

Meson uses itself and hotdoc for generating documentation.

Minimum required version of hotdoc is 0.8.9.

Instructions on how to install hotdoc are here.

From the Meson repository root dir:

$ cd docs/
$ meson built_docs
$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload

Now you should be able to open the documentation locally

built_docs/Meson documentation-doc/html/index.html

Meson uses the git-upload hotdoc plugin which basically removes the html pages and replaces with the new content.

You can simply run:

$ ninja -C built_docs/ upload

Commits that only change documentation should have [skip ci] in their commit message, so CI is not run (it is quite slow). For example:
