Partial, Meson-only implementation of #2976 for non-MSVC builds. Due to the prevalence of private symbol reuse, linking to a shared library is simply utterly unreliable, but we still want to defer to the shared library for installable applications. By linking to both, we can share symbols where possible, and statically link where needed. This means we no longer need to manually track every file that needs to be extracted and reused. The flip side is that MSVC completely does not support this, so for MSVC builds we just link to a full static copy even where -Ddefault_library=shared. As a side benefit, by using library inclusion rather than including extra explicit object files, the zstd program shrinks in size slightly (~4kb).
Meson build system for zstandard
Meson is a build system designed to optimize programmer productivity. It aims to do this by providing simple, out-of-the-box support for modern software development tools and practices, such as unit tests, coverage reports, Valgrind, CCache and the like.
This Meson build system is provided with no guarantee and maintained by Dima Krasner <dima@dimakrasner.com>.
It outputs one libzstd, either shared or static, depending on
default_library option.
How to build
cd to this meson directory (build/meson)
meson setup -Dbin_programs=true -Dbin_contrib=true builddir
cd builddir
ninja # to build
ninja install # to install
You might want to install it in staging directory:
DESTDIR=./staging ninja install
To configure build options, use:
meson configure
See man meson(1).
