Description Robert Roth 2018-03-03 16:43:15 UTC 
Porting to meson would speed up the build times, simplify the build maintenance and would also be useful in case of a Vala port.

Details, examples can be found at https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/MesonPorting, 
something recent and similar would be gnome-calculator meson port, see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-calculator/commit/?id=187ad6e033b64b47288562e9c35cad95b829c954

Hi. I migrated to Meson. Please let me know if I should make any changes. Thank you.

Nice try. Almost perfect, but doesn't work. ninja install fails for a trivial reason. Try running 'ninja install' and you should be able to easily find the problem (in case you don't want to install to the default /usr/local you can specify a prefix when initializing a build directory with meson --prefix=~/ninjadir).

I think I solved it. Please let me know if there is anything else.
Comment 4 Robert Roth 2018-03-16 01:10:06 UTC 
This time it's ok. One minor nitpick: don't put files which do not
exist in EXTRA_DIST, as it causes 'make dist' failure.
Given that autotools will be dropped soon, I have fixed this and
pushed your changes to master.
