That is cool that Atila was kind enough to accept the
meson.build file. But how do I use the written meson.build
that is apparently in the subdirectory directory "build"?
Just asking because normally I see a meson.build in the root
of the project.
Having the meson.build in the project root directory is the
norm, and that was where I put it originally. However, Atila
chose to leave only the Dub build in the root directory and
place all other build-related files in the build directory.
This is not a problem since Meson is entirely happy with that
structure.
I have my clone of unit-threaded in
~/Repositories/Git/Fork/Unit_Threaded and
I build in ~/BuildArea/Unit_Threaded. My meson command in the
build
directory is:
meson --prefix=$HOME/Built
~/Repositories/Git/Fork/Unit_Threaded/built
and this works fine. I then build and install using Ninja. To
date it all works for me. If you try this and something goes
wrong put an issue on the unit-threaded GitHub project area and
email me in case I don't get a notification from the issue
system.
I tried that custom command voodoo then I tried to use 'dub' as a
method for hunting down dependencies. Basically got something
like this.
'''
