# Meson build system
DISCLAIMER: This is a work in progress. The meson build system will be maintained for a brief period alongside autotools.
## Motivation
- We want to build a single, monolithic library libgnunet that is easier to use in, for example, mobile apps.
- Autotools is complex and difficult to use. It also causes stale builds. Meson has a better developer experience.
- Meson supports dynamic pkg-config generation.
- Meson does out-of-tree builds
- Meson makes it (almost) impossible to create dist tarballs that miss files/do not compile.
## Reasons to drop it again
- Meson does not seem to support (automatic) dependency version detection without pkg-config.
## TODOs
- Migrate tests
- Portability defines set implicitly in configure.ac need to be identified and ported to meson.
- Some (experimental) subsystems not yet ported.
- 1:1 match of installed files must be verified.
- Documentation must be updated.
## Use
To compile run:
```
$ meson setup $builddir
$ cd $builddir
$ meson configure -Dprefix=$PFX -Dexperimental=$BOOL
$ meson compile
```
to install:
```
$ meson install
```
to make tarball (runs tests unless specified to skip):
```
$ meson dist
```
to uninstall:
```
$ ninja uninstall
```
## Test
You can run the tests as:
```
$ meson test
```
you can run individual tests as:
```
$ meson test $TESTNAME
```
for example:
```
$ meson test test_gnsrecord_crypto
```
you can run test suites for components as:
```
$ meson test --suite util
```
performance tests are not included by default.
To also have performance tests available use the ```full``` setup:
```
$ meson test --setup full
```
You can use this switch also when running suites or individual tests.
## Open issues
- All tests are always built: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/6511
- libtool versioning is different from soversion and version in meson
