Textbook in PDF format The Meson Manual is a full user's manual for the Meson build system written by Jussi Pakkanen, the original creator and current project lead of Meson. Written in an informative and concise no-nonsense style, the text makes the material easily approachable even for people with little previous knowledge on build systems in general or Meson in particular. Plenty of practical examples are used to ensure that the information is readily usable on real world projects. The book starts with the basics such as how compilers and linkers work, what is the difference between static and dynamic linking (both at compile time and at runtime) and some differences between different toolchains and operating systems. This is followed by a thorough description of Meson's syntax, behaviour and functionality. A few bigger projects are examined to see how all of this can be applied to real world projects. The second half of the book is a thorough reference manual of all Meson functionality, including sample code for almost every function, module and method. Conventions used in this book The user manual Getting started Obtaining Meson Creating the sample project Building from the command line Building with the Visual Studio IDE How compilation works Basic term definitions Building the Hello World application manually Basic symbol resolution Static linking Shared linking Linking multiple libraries Which is better, shared or static linking? Dynamic linker and symbol resolution Meson syntax Original design principles Concrete design decisions Elementary types Build system phases Program flow Object types Disablers Building blocks of a software project The elementary operations Advanced build cases Generating data Defining the graph in Meson Splitting the project to multiple directories Target properties External dependencies What is a dependency? Finding and using dependencies Dependency provider backends Executable dependencies Dependencies that don't provide any dependency files Subprojects and internal dependencies Subproject basics and layout Using subprojects Internal dependencies Combining subprojects and internal dependencies Overriding executable lookup Configuring the project Simple approaches to configuration Configuration files Advanced configuration options Introspecting the system Printing status messages Testing Defining a test Test properties Advanced testing using the test tool Defining custom test setups Benchmarks Installing Directory layout Installing build targets Installing other files Running the install Custom install tasks Other things that happen during install Accessing data files before and after install Project options Builtin options Declaring and using project options Defining options Exploring and setting option values Sharing options between projects Custom build steps Generating data files Dependency files Special strings in command arguments Generating source code Generating source and headers Using generators Cross compilation A word about nomenclature A practical example Other naming setups Cross compilation with Meson Cross file lookup Multiple cross files Constants in cross files Native files Running tests when cross compiling Cross compilation and code generators Firmware upload targets The Wrap dependency download mechanism The basic design Downloading revision control checkouts Downloading a release archive Using the WrapDB Converting an existing project to Meson Why change build systems? Is it even worth it? Making sense of an existing build system Build tasks ordered by difficulty Conversions involving an entire team A library sample project Design requirements The external API Precompiled headers The C C++ bridge Tests Project layout Creating releases Exercises for the reader Practical tips for real world projects Use options rather than hardcoding compiler flags Shipping pregenerated files Do not treat files as strings Running Python scripts that use extension modules Move everything you can out of build files The reference documentation Elementary object reference array boolean dictionary disabler integer string Domain specific object reference build_machine build_target compiler configuration data custom_target dependency environment external_library external_program generator host_machine meson python_installation run_result source_configuration source_set target_machine subproject Function reference add_global_arguments add_global_link_arguments add_languages add_project_arguments add_project_link_arguments add_test_setup alias_target assert benchmark both_libraries build_target configuration_data configure_file custom_target declare_dependency dependency disabler environment executable error find_program files generator get_option get_variable import include_directories install_data install_headers install_man install_subdir is_disabler is_variable jar join_paths library message run_command run_target set_variable shared_library shared_module static_library subdir subdir_done subproject test vcs_tag Module reference cmake dlang fs (filesystem) gnome hotdoc i18n pkgconfig python qt5 qt4 rpm sourceset windows III The appendixes Contributing to Meson Checking out the code Creating the merge request Review and continuous integration Fixing merge conflicts Documentation updates
