     11 ==================
     12 
     13 Briefly, the shell commands `meson setup build/; ninja -C build; ninja
     14 -C build install` should configure, build, and install this package. The
     15 following more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README` file
     16 for instructions specific to this package.

     18    Running `meson setup` attempts to guess correct values for various
     19 system-dependent variables used during compilation.
     20 
     21 The simplest way to compile this package is:
     22 
     23   1. `cd` to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     24      `meson setup build/` to configure the package for your system.
     25 
     26      While running, it prints some messages telling which features it
     27      is checking for.
     28 
     29   2. Type `ninja -C build` to compile the package.
     30 
     31   3. Optionally, type `ninja -C build test` to run any self-tests that
     32      come with the package.
     33 
     34   4. Type `ninja -C build install` to install the programs and any
     35      data files and documentation.
