meson_quickstart

A sample quickstart C++ project that builds a library, and a testing executable binary.

Notice

• Use set_variable() to exposes a variable to be consumed by another sub-directory via get_variable().
• Use declare_dependency() to avoid repetitive on how to compile the library sharing from lib/ to test/.
• Use test() to define the test name

Command notices

• meson setup <dir> - to setup the build directory. It is the same as meson <dir> (without any sub-command, it defaults to setup).
• meson compile - while at build directory, to build the project. This is equivalent to ninja.
• meson compile --clean - while at build directory, to clean the artifacts. This is equivalent to ninja clean.
• meson compile -C <build-dir> - if not at build directory, we can specify the build directory as well. Same as ninja -C <build-dir>.
• meson test - execute test name as defined from within meson script
