2020-09-21 David Turner Add Meson build project file. Example usage: # Configure Meson build in directory `build-meson` to generate # release binaries comparable to to the ones from the # autotools/make build system. meson setup build-meson \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --buildtype=debugoptimized \ --strip \ -Db_ndebug=true # After configuring the Meson build with the above command, # compile and install to `/usr/local/`; this includes a pkg-config # file. ninja -C build-meson install # Alternatively, compile and install to `/tmp/aa/usr/local/...` # for packaging. DESTDIR=/tmp/aa ninja -C build-meson install # Generate documentation under `build-meson/docs`. ninja -C build-meson docs Library size comparison for stripped `libfreetype.so` generated by all three build systems: - Default build (autotools + libtool): 712 KiB - CMake build (RelWithDebInfo): 712 KiB - Meson build: 712 KiB * meson.build: New top-level Meson build file for the library. * meson_options.txt: New file. It holds user-selectable options for the build, which can be printed with `meson configure`, and selected at `meson setup` or `meson --reconfigure` time with `-D
