meson - Meson build element
===========================
This is a :mod:`BuildElement <buildstream.buildelement>` implementation for
using `Meson <http://mesonbuild.com/>`_ build scripts.

You will often want to pass additional arguments to ``meson``. This should
be done on a per-element basis by setting the ``meson-local`` variable.  Here is
an example:

.. code:: yaml

   variables:
     meson-local: |
       -Dmonkeys=yes

If you want to pass extra options to ``meson`` for every element in your
project, set the ``meson-global`` variable in your project.conf file. Here is
an example of that:

.. code:: yaml

   elements:
     meson:
       variables:
         meson-global: |
           -Dmonkeys=always

Here is the default configuration for the ``meson`` element in full:

  .. literalinclude:: ../../../buildstream/plugins/elements/meson.yaml
     :language: yaml

See :ref:`built-in functionality documentation <core_buildelement_builtins>` for
details on common configuration options for build elements.
