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

[Enrico Tröger]

It looks pretty good now!
Here my full build log: https://gist.github.com/eht16/b38c656d6f2edab62832f181248108c1

Findings:
- there is a deprecation notice in https://gist.github.com/eht16/b38c656d6f2edab62832f181248108c1#file-gistfile1-txt-L73 but I guess we could keep it for now
- Plugins failed to compile first because meson installs geany.pc and the rest of the libs in `$prefix/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu`. I'm not sure if this is OK or not, at least it is different from autotools. With `./configure --prefix=/tmp/install-meson --with-geany-libdir=/tmp/install-meson/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu` Plugins compiled fine.
- some files are not or in different locations installed compared to autotools. I added a list of differences in installed files in https://gist.github.com/eht16/b38c656d6f2edab62832f181248108c1#file-differences-in-installed-files-between-autotools-and-meson.
- I did *not* test on Windows, we can do this post-merge

I'd say we should sort out the install differences but then good to merge.
