-libdrm is a standard autotools package and follows the normal -configure, build and install steps. The first step is to configure -the package, which is done by running the configure shell script: +libdrm has two build systems, a legacy autotools build system, and a newer +meson build system. The meson build system is much faster, and offers a +slightly different interface, but otherwise provides much the same +feature set. + +To use it: + + meson builddir + +By default this will install into /usr/local, you can change your prefix +with --prefix=/usr (or -Dprefix=/usr to meson configure). + +Then use ninja to build and install: + + ninja -C builddir install + + +Alternatively you can invoke autotools configure:
./configure
