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.
