Possible change to Meson

Post by MichaelJManley »

Before I get comments about a switch, I am not removing CMake support yet. It will be maintained alongside Meson least till v19.

But as some people noticed, CMake does complicate some items (specifically wxWidgets). Its dependency checking is a bit buggy at times.

I was going to test Meson as it seems to allow better integration with things like vcpkg and also can separate people from MSYS and use a standalone MinGW if they so desire. (There were some edge cases and would like to allow people who used the older MinGW to still compile PCem if they so desire)

You will see these added to dev in a few commits. Willing to hear comments.

Yes please!

I've been using it with dosbox-staging, it is so much nicer than CMake IMHO.
