  • prefer per-user install

  • prefer Makefile (meson is supported but is less exercised)

  • build prep with meson can be useful to end up with compile_commands.json for lsp-ish purposes. though after running meson appropriately (see below), making a symlink of the same name that points to the build/compile_commands.json file may be a good idea.

  • if doing meson:

    meson setup build \
      --buildtype release \
      --optimization 2 \
      --libdir /usr/local/lib \
      -Dgit_hash=$(git log --pretty=format:'%h' -n 1)
