Building a Meson Package
------------------------
Applications built with the `Meson build system <https://mesonbuild.com/>`__
just need a recipe that has sources described in :term:`SRC_URI` and inherits
the :ref:`ref-classes-meson` class.
The :oe_git:`ipcalc recipe </meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-support/ipcalc>`
is a simple example of an application without dependencies::
SUMMARY = "Tool to assist in network address calculations for IPv4 and IPv6."
HOMEPAGE = "https://gitlab.com/ipcalc/ipcalc"
SECTION = "net"
LICENSE = "GPL-2.0-only"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=b234ee4d69f5fce4486a80fdaf4a4263"
SRC_URI = "git://gitlab.com/ipcalc/ipcalc.git;protocol=https;branch=master"
SRCREV = "4c4261a47f355946ee74013d4f5d0494487cc2d6"
S = "${WORKDIR}/git"
inherit meson
Applications with dependencies are likely to inherit the
:ref:`ref-classes-pkgconfig` class, as ``pkg-config`` is the default method
used by Meson to find dependencies and compile applications against them.
Splitting an Application into Multiple Packages
