** COMPILING and INSTALLING **
|
||||||
|
------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Meson is the build system used for this project. For more information please
|
||||||
|
see:

----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Normal compilation in /usr/local:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meson . build
|
||||||
|
ninja -C build
|
||||||
|
sudo ninja -C build install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For meson build generic options:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meson --help
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a list of project specific options supported:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cat meson_options.txt
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To set 1 or more project specific options:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meson --prefix=/path/to -Doption=value [-Dother=value2] [...] . build
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To display current configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meson configure build
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The above will only work after at least the following is done:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meson . build
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
