The meson plugin is useful for building Meson-based parts.

Projects using the Meson build system will contain a meson.build file that drives the build, and the plugin runs the following commands to build your project:

  1. meson
  2. ninja
  3. ninja install

This plugin uses the common plugin keywords as well as those for sources. For more information, see Snapcraft parts metadata.
