This is an experiment to examine what would be
the optimal syntax for a cross-platform build
system.
Dependencies
Python 3.3: http://python.org
Python-Ply: http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/ply.html
Ninja: http://martine.github.com/ninja/
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
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 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
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.
