NAME

       meson - a high productivity build system

DESCRIPTION

       Meson  is  a build system designed to optimize programmer productivity. It aims to do this
       by providing simple, out-of-the-box support for  modern  software  development  tools  and
       practices, such as unit tests, coverage reports, Valgrind, CCache and the like.

       Using  Meson  is  simple  and  follows the common two-phase process of most build systems.
       First you run Meson to configure your build:

       meson [ options ] [ source directory ] [ build directory ]

       Note that the build directory must be different from the source directory. Meson does  not
       support building inside the source directory and attempting to do that leads to an error.

       After a successful configuration step you can build the source by running the actual build
       command in the build directory. The default backend  of  Meson  is  Ninja,  which  can  be
       invoked like this.

       ninja [ target ]

       You  only  need  to  run  the Meson command once: when you first configure your build dir.
       After that you just run the build command. Meson will autodetect changes  in  your  source
       tree and regenerates all files needed to build the project.

   options:
       --version
              print version number

       --help print command line help
