[Github-comments] [geany/geany] WIP: Meson build system (#2761)

[Enrico Tröger]

I support @elextr's  request for docs, https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2761#issuecomment-809698447 helped.

On configure, I got:
```
po/meson.build:6:4: ERROR: Problem encountered: /bin/sh: 1: gawk: not
found
```
which seems to be a new dependency.
As it is just used (AFAIK) to generate a list of names of the available languages, this can done also with a Python oneliner or maybe even with Meson itself?

At the end of the compilation I got a few warnings which might be interesting:
```
msgfmt: ../po/LINGUAS does not exist
../geany.desktop.in:5:0: warning: invalid non-blank line
../geany.desktop.in:6:0: warning: invalid non-blank line
../geany.desktop.in:7:0: warning: invalid non-blank line
../geany.desktop.in:14:0: warning: invalid non-blank line
[247/247] Linking target plugins/libsplitwindow.so
meson compile -C build  464.85s user 38.27s system 353% cpu 2:22.13 total
```
Tested on ArchLinux and Debian Testing.

For reference, here is my `geany.desktop.in`:
```
