6.53.1. Installation of Meson
Compile Meson with the following command:
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py build
This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package:
python3 setup.py install --root=dest cp -rv dest/* /
python3 setup.py install --root=dest cp -rv dest/* /
The meaning of the install parameters:
--root=dest
By default python3 setup.py install installs various files (such as man pages) into Python Eggs. With a specified root location, setup.py installs these files into a standard hierarchy. Then we can just copy the hierarchy so the files will be in the standard location.
