Its simple, modern, and powerful.

What is Meson?

The main design point of Meson is that every moment a developer spends writing or debugging build definitions is a second wasted. So is every second spent waiting for the build system to actually start compiling code.

Features

  • multiplatform support for Linux, OSX, Windows, Gcc, Clang, Visual Studio and others
  • supported languages include C, C++, Fortran, Java, Rust
  • build definitions in a very readable and user friendly non-turing complete DSL
  • cross compilation for many operating systems as well as bare metal
  • optimized for extremely fast full and incremental builds without sacrificing correctness
  • built-in multiplatform dependency provider that works together with distro packages
  • fun!
