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"
