Skeleton 💀 project for C++ (or C) using Meson

Build for current machine

• Make build directory mkdir build and cd build
• Run Meson on parent dir/project root meson ..
• Run Ninja to actually build the project ninja

Build for Win32 through Linux

• Make build directory mkdir build and cd build
• Run Meson while providing a cross-compilation conf meson .. --cross-file ../cross_file.txt
• Run Ninja to actually build the project ninja

Installing new Meson Wraps

• Install the wrap (for example Lua): meson wrap install lua
• Reference the subproject/dependency inside meson.build, like:

  lua = subproject('lua')
  lua_dep = lua.get_variable('lua_dep')

• Add lua_dep in the array of common dependencies, like:

  lib_common_dep = [lua_dep, thread_dep]
