Hello There is some buzz around the Meson build system recently[1], and I have spent some time writing build instructions for Rhythmbox using Meson.
The new build instructions are available in the wip/sam/meson branch of rhythmbox.git. I'd describe them as beta quality right now; they produce a working shell/rhythmbox binary and a set of plugins, but I haven't thoroughly tested it yet. You need a modern version of Meson, probably use Git master for now until Meson 0.36 is released. My intention isn't to try & push this build system on the project maintainers, I'm just sharing this work in the hope others find it interesting and useful. If you get bored watching Autotools reconfigure the project for 30+ seconds then give it a try :-) I don't know if I'll maintain this long-term; others are welcome to rebase and update the branch if it looks out of date.
