Add meson.build files to build with meson Provide both build systems in parallel for now, to ensure that we work out all the differences between the two. Some time from now, we'll give up on autotools. Meson tends to be faster and probably easier to read/maintain. On my machine, the full meson configure+build+install takes a little under half as long as a similar autotools-based invocation. Building with meson is a two step process. First, configure the build: meson build Then, compile the project: ninja -C build There's some mild differences in functionality between meson and autotools. specifically: 1) No singular update-po target. meson only generates individual update-po targets for each textdomain (of which we have 3). To make this easier, there's a build-aux/update-po script which finds all update-po targets and runs them. 2) No 'make dist' equivalent. Just run 'git archive' to generate a suitable tarball for distribution. 2018-07-07 10:29:48 -04:00			`#!/bin/sh`

meson: make our symlinking script more portable We do not need the --relative case as it is dead code (we only ever link a filename without directory components). For the rest, GNU-specific ln -T does two things: - if the link name is an existing directory, ln fails instead of creating a surprising link inside the directory - if the link name is a symlink to a directory, ln treats it as a file, and due to -f, unlinks it The second case can be portably solved by ln -n, and both cases can be solved by doing what the original autotools Makefile did: rm -f && ln -s If the file exists, it will be removed. If it cannot be removed, it must be an ordinary directory, and the script aborts with an error.
