```
```sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
```
Also note that some distributions like to add extra arch directories
to your library locations so you might have to have more like:
```
```sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

You might also want to add the destination bin dir to your environment

Normal compilation in /usr/local:
```
```sh

For meson build generic options:
```
```sh
meson --help
```
For a list of project specific options supported:
```
```sh
cat meson_options.txt

To set 1 or more project specific options:
```
```sh
meson --prefix=/path/to -Doption=value [-Dother=value2] [...] . build
```
To display current configuration:
```
```sh

The above will only work after at least the following is done:
```
```sh
meson . build
```
