# 17 march 2019

# Here's the overall idea: the build syntax would be something like
# $ meson setup build \
#     [--buildtype=debug|release] \        (core option, default debug)
#     [--default_library=static|shared] \  (core option, default shared)
#     [--layout=flat] \                    (useful for distribution and Windows DLL tests)
#     [--b_sanitize=whatever]
# It turns out that I wouldn't really need any custom options; go figure.
# TODO I'm not sure how to allow building 32-bit instead of 64-bit with meson.
# TODO figure out what (meson/ninja) dist do
# TODO figure out why test and examples aren't included in ninja all
# TODO figure out how to make an overarching "examples" target
# TODOs from cmake; not sure if they're relevant here:
# - uname -s for more refined OS control
# 	- Haiku for haiku
# - debian DESTDIR? https://github.com/andlabs/libui/pull/10
# - disable incremental linking? I forget if meson already doesn't do this or not; we did it manually in cmake

# we have to specify C++ here even if we're not using C++ immediately because otherwise none of the C++ built-in options are available (sigh; TODO)
