This +functionality can be accessed with the `meson init` command. A typical +project setup would go like this: + +```console +$ mkdir project_name +$ cd project_name +$ meson init --language=c --name=myproject --version=0.1 +``` + +This would create the build definitions for a helloworld type +project. The result can be compiled as usual. For example compiling it +with Ninja could be done like this: + +``` +$ meson builddir +$ ninja -C builddir +``` + +The generator has many different projects and settings. They can all +be listed by invoking the command `meson test --help`. |
