-Installation Instructions
-=========================
-
-Requirements
-------------
-As well as the requirements listed in README, the meson build also requires:
- meson (http://mesonbuild.com)
- ninja (http://ninja-build.org)
-
-Basic Installation
-------------------
- meson setup $builddir
- ninja -C $builddir
- ninja -C $builddir install
-
-where $builddir is the name of the directory where the build artifacts
-will be written to.
-
-Some of the common options that can be used with "meson setup" include:
-
-Set the install prefix.
- --prefix=<path>
-
-Set the build type. Some common build types include "debug" and "release"
- --buildtype=<buildtype>
-
-Compiler and linker flags can be set with the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
-environment variables.
-
-Configuring cairo backends
---------------------------
-After running "meson build", "meson configure" can be used to display
-or modify the build configuration.
-
-eg
-
- Display configuration:
- meson configure $builddir
-
- Enable pdf and disable ps:
- meson configure $builddir -Dpdf=enabled -Dps=disabled
-
-The "-D" options can also be used with "meson setup"
-
-Tests
------
-Refer to test/README. The main difference with running a test from a
-meson build is that the cairo-test-suite executable needs to be run in
-$builddir/test to find the image conversion executables but also needs
-to be told where the reference images are.
-
-eg
- cd $builddir/test
- srcdir="../../test" ./cairo-test-suite
-
-Where srcdir is the path to the "test" directory in the cairo source. The
-above example assumes $builddir is a directory in the cairo source tree.
