Hi all, I've started porting glibmm build to meson. You can find my work in mkolny/meson-build branch ( https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/log/?h=mkolny/meson-build). For now, I managed to build glibmm library, I hope giomm will be relatively easy now. Currently my solution is very 'hacky' - sometimes because of lack of experience in meson build system, sometimes because of limited features. I expect that we might have some issues when we're going to generate release tarballs, however, I'm not that far yet so I can't provide any details yet.
Any feedback/contribution to the branch is very welcome. 2017-07-28 20:37 GMT+01:00 Murray Cumming <murr...@murrayc.com>: > On Fri, 2017-07-28 at 12:46 +0100, Russel Winder wrote: > > On Fri, 2017-07-28 at 12:54 +0200, Murray Cumming wrote: > > > […] > > > > > > Maybe we could try having build file for Meson alongside the > > > autotools > > > files.
