MesonĀ® is a project to create the best possible next-generation
build system.
####Dependencies
- [Python](http://python.org) (version 3.4 or newer)
- [Ninja](http://martine.github.com/ninja/)
####Installing from source
You can run Meson directly from a revision control checkout or an
extracted tarball. You can also install it locally with standard
Python distutils command `python3 setup.py install <your options
here>`.
Meson is also available from
[PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/meson), so it can be installed
with `pip install meson` (this does not require a source checkout, pip
will download the package automatically).
####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 allows you to
do things like this:
`cd source_root; mkdir build; cd build; meson ..`
`cd source_root; mkdir build; meson 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.
####Contributing
We love code contributions. See the contributing.txt file for
details.
####IRC
The irc channel for Meson is `#mesonbuild` over at Freenode.
####Further info
More information about the Meson build system can be found at the
[project's home page](http://mesonbuild.com).
