Meson
is an open source and multi-platform build system generator using Ninja as main backend. Build definitions are located in
meson.build
files while build options are located in
meson_options.txt
.
Meson build support in Qt Creator is not mature yet, you can only use it to build native desktop applications. Many features available with Meson build or usually available from Qt Creator are missing.
Qt Creator automatically detects the Meson and Ninja executables specified in the
PATH
. You can add paths to other Meson or Ninja executables and use them in different build and run
kits
.
注意： Meson build plugin is disabled by default, see Enabling and Disabling Plugins .
Qt Creator does not have strong requirements on Meson build's version, any version above 0.49.0 should be compatible.
To specify paths to Meson or Ninja executables:
Select the 工具 > Options > Kits > Kits tab to add the Meson and Ninja tools to a build and run kit:

To open a meson.build file for editing, double-click it from project tree. Only plain text editor is available now.
Through external libraries, Qt Creator can support code completion and syntax highlighting as if they were part of the current project or the Qt library.
Qt Creator handles code completion from compilation flags in Meson introspection data. Any external library added with
dependency()
or found in include path will be known by Qt Creator for code completion.
Syntax completion and highlighting work once your project configures successfully.
