| |
| Basic Installation |
| ------------------ |
| meson setup $builddir |
| ninja -C $builddir |
| ninja -C $builddir install |

| |
| Compiler and linker flags can be set with the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS |
| environment variables. |

| Configuring cairo backends |
| -------------------------- |
| After running "meson build", "meson configure" can be used to display |
| or modify the build configuration. |
| |
| eg |
| |
| Display configuration: |
