Use a more flexible build system #27

Open jscott0 opened 1 year ago

jscott0 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I'm interested in packaging this for Debian, but Makefile-based build systems are generally frowned upon because they are not cross-friendly and make it harder to set build flags. I'd like to convert this to a Meson-based build system, not only since that is what I'm experienced with and I think it's a good build system, but also because the language is designed to be very succinct and easy to learn.

Please let me know if you have any objections to Debian packaging. Speaking of which, it'd be helpful if you made a release.

Hi, I am open to you packaging this for Debian. I have no experience with Meson, but I'm open to considering a diff to convert this to Meson. Maybe we can keep the old build steps for users wanting to build it themselves. I can make a release, sometime soon hopefully.
