This document provides best practices for the usage of https://mesonbuild.com/[the Meson build system] in Fedora packages. Meson is a build system (similar to automake) which can generate code for other lower-level build systems. For example, it can generate code for https://ninja-build.org/[ninja]. When packaging software which builds using Meson it's important to use the `+%meson+` macros instead of `+%ninja+` or other lower-level build system macros directly. The backend used by Meson could change.

	Meson Packaging Guidelines
	This document provides best practices for the usage of https://mesonbuild.com/[the Meson build system] in Fedora packages. Meson is a build system (similar to automake) which can generate code for other lower-level build systems. For example, it can generate code for https://ninja-build.org/[ninja]. When packaging software which builds using Meson it's important to use the `+%meson+` macros instead of `+%ninja+` or other lower-level build system macros directly. The backend used by Meson could change.
	Build Dependencies
	You MUST add following BuildRequires:
	BuildRequires: meson
	Available Macros
	You will generally make use of these in your specs:
	`+%meson+`
	Defines CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. and calls `+%__meson+` with appropriate parameters (`+--libdir=%{_libdir}+` and such). You can pass `+-Doption=value+` to this macro in order to set options for the buildsystem.
	`+%meson_build+`
	An alias for `+%ninja_build -C %{_vpath_builddir}+`.
	`+%meson_install+`
	An alias for `+%ninja_install -C %{_vpath_builddir}+`.
	`+%meson_test+`
	An alias for `+%ninja_test -C %{_vpath_builddir}+`.
	It is rarely necessary (but permissible) to use or alter these:
	`+%__meson+`
