in my experience dealing with meson is a massive PITA. maybe I'm just not familiar with the meson way of doing things. Here are the issues I'm running into: 1.) Have the setup of building multiple instances of mesa against different llvm versions been addressed? I'm building mesa with llvm 6/7/git using the same source, will the llvm-config location be remembered during reconfigure? ([0] has been open without any activity for 9 months) 2.) Is there a way to upgrade meson without having to manually regenerate build directories of every meson project? This clashes with automated git update/rebuild scripts and forces me to have a separate recreate/reconfigure shell script for every meson project. 3.) Has cross-compile pkg-config issue been fixed? Last time I checked cross file needed both "pkgconfig" and "pkg-config" variables set, otherwise it'd either complain or not find the corresponding pkgconfig files. regards, Jan [0]https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2887 > > Dylan > _______________________________________________ > mesa-dev mailing list > mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
