Installing from source
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can run Meson directly from a revision control checkout.
|
|
|
|
|
Installing it system-wide is simple.

|
|
|
|
|
Unit test step: ./run_tests.py
|
|
|
|
|

Meson requires that you have a source directory and a build directory
|
2013-02-04 01:27:08 +08:00
|
|
|
and that these two are different. In your source root must exist a file
|
2013-02-18 03:11:50 +08:00
|
|
|
called 'meson.build'. To generate the build system run this command:
|
2013-02-04 01:27:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-23 21:16:22 +08:00
|
|
|
meson <source directory> <build directory>
|
2013-02-04 01:27:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-18 03:11:50 +08:00
|
|
|
You can omit either of the two directories, and Meson will substitute
|
2013-02-04 01:27:08 +08:00
|
|
|
the current directory and autodetect what you mean. This mean that you
|
|
|
|
|
can do things like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-18 03:11:50 +08:00
|
|
|
cd source_root; mkdir build; cd build; meson.py ..
|
|
|
|
|
cd source_root; mkdir build; meson.py build
|
2013-02-04 01:27:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-23 21:16:22 +08:00
|
|
|
To compile, cd into your build directory and type 'ninja'. To run unit
|
2013-02-24 00:17:32 +08:00
|
|
|
tests, type 'ninja test'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install is the same but it can take an extra argument:
|
2013-02-23 21:16:22 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
