# C++ with Meson
|
||||
Install Meson and requirements
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel ninja-build libgtk-3-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip3 install --user meson ninja
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Everything installed right you can configure and build the build system by running `meson build`. If the folder `build` already exists, you can run `meson --reconfigure build` to let meson run the configuration again and update the build folder.
|
||||
With the build folder existing, `cd build` and run `ninja`. Ninja will gather all dependencies and build every executable for you at once. All executables are then gathered in your build folder. In short summary:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
meson builddir && cd builddir
|
||||
meson compile
|
||||
meson test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Hello World
|
||||
We start with the most basic programm "Hello World". First create the C file which holds the source.
|
||||
Then create a Meson build description and write it in a file called `meson.build`. That's all we need. Build the application with the command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
meson setup builddir
|
||||
cd builddir
|
||||
meson compile
|
||||
```
|
||||
Once the executable is built it run:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./demo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding dependencies
|
||||
More complex programms need dependencies and other files. The Meson file includes all instructions to find and use libraries, like GTK+:
|
||||
```
|
||||
project('tutorial', 'c')
|
||||
gtkdep = dependency('gtk+-3.0')
|
||||
executable('demo', 'main.c', dependencies : gtkdep)
|
||||
```
|
||||
To add multiple libraries, simply use seperate `dependency()` calls
|
||||
```
|
||||
gtkdeps = [dependency('gtk+-3.0'), dependency('gtksourceview-3.0')]
|
||||
```
|
||||
