I have added meson.build files to the master branch of
gtkmm-documentation in gitlab.gnome.org.
If you want to test it, please do. Read the README file for
instructions. I hope meson can soon replace autotools for building
gtkmm-documentation.
*Question:* docs/tutorial/Makefile.am contains commands for building the
documentation in epub and mobi formats. These builds are said to be
experimental. Does anyone know if they are used or useful? The
meson.build files don't contain these build commands. Should they be
added there?
After having worked with meson for a few weeks, I find it better than
autotools in several respects. For example, the meson.build files are
easier to read and understand than Makefile.am. It has two restrictions,
though:
1. Each build rule defined with custom_target(), can contain only one
command.
2. A built file must be stored in the same directory as the meson.build
file where the build rule is defined. (Actually the corresponding
directory in the build tree.)
Restriction 2 is probably the reason why glib and gtk contains more than
50 meson.build files. I have to some extent used script files to work
around these restrictions.
