We haven't actually verified that these kwargs are equal to what we had
before, and should probably revert the entire series. But I have
multiple reports in the wild of projects that no longer build because of
`install: [true, false, get_option('foobar')]` which was always
incorrect and always equal to just dropping values all over the floor
and treating it the same as "bool(value) == True".
Special case this particular typed kwarg and allow it with a sternly
worded warning that it was always wrong and should never ever ever be
done.

Status
Dependencies
Latest Meson version supporting previous Python versions:
- Python 3.6: 0.61.5
- Python 3.5: 0.56.2
- Python 3.4: 0.45.1
Installing from source
Meson is available on PyPi, so
it can be installed with pip3 install meson. The exact command to
type to install with pip can vary between systems, be sure to use
the Python 3 version of pip.
If you wish you can install it locally with the standard Python command:
python3 -m pip install meson
For builds using Ninja, Ninja can be downloaded directly from Ninja GitHub release page or via PyPi
python3 -m pip install ninja
More on Installing Meson build can be found at the getting meson page.
Creating a standalone script
Meson can be run as a Python zip app. To generate the executable run the following command:
./packaging/create_zipapp.py --outfile meson.pyz --interpreter '/usr/bin/env python3' <source checkout>
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 setup <source directory> <build directory>
Depending on how you obtained Meson the command might also be called
meson.py instead of plain meson. In the rest of this document we
are going to use the latter form.
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>
meson setup builddir
To compile, cd into your build directory and type ninja. To run unit
tests, type ninja test.
More on running Meson build system commands can be found at the
running meson page
or by typing meson --help.
