The Build System

We have chosen to use Meson Build, which greatly simplifies build configuration and has convenient mechanisms for cross compiling

Take a look through the commit to see how simple it was to set up dependencies, and create build and installation targets.

Meson can be installed with pip (ninja is used instead of make, so be sure that installed as well)

pip install meson

Dependencies

The top level meson.build defines the dependencies as objects that can be used throughout the rest of the meson.build files

Build Options

These are defined in meson_options.txt. As the project evolves, more options will be added, but they can be easily accessed form the command line

Here, there is one option:

option('enable_testing', type : 'boolean', value : true)

For example, to disable testing, add -Denable_testing=false to the meson setup command

Usage

To build:

cd newsched
meson setup build --buildtype=debugoptimized --prefix=[INSTALL_PREFIX] --libdir=lib -D[option={true,false}]
cd build
ninja

To install:

ninja install

Doxygen

Doxygen is configured in the docs/doxygen folder as per usual
