wiht-gpgme does not list "Possible Values" but does give the options under the

worked just find.
ninja build succeeded, and it runs. I also noticed the copyright in the Balsa/About
dialog is still 2016. (There are lots of old copyright dates if you just do a "grep
-ir copyright *" in the source directory. Maybe I'll put together a proposed patch
to update them.)
Run 'meson configure' in the build dir to see all the options, their possible
values, and the current values.
Thanks for testing the meson build! I'm sorry you got burned by the
'yes'/'true' thing--I did too!
The current version is really a work-in-progress. I kept everything very close
to the autotools version, so that I could easily compare the meson files with
the autotools versions. So I kept yes|no|path for the options that allow
specifying a path. If you look at meson_options.txt, you'll see that some
options are boolean, with true|false values, and some are strings, with
yes|no|path values. I should change those to true|false|path form, to avoid the
issues that you and I faced!
Done.
The meson options should probably also be renamed. I understand that the with-
and enable- prefixes of the autotools options are disparaged; options should be
structured so that the '-Doption=value' configure syntax is as user-friendly as
possible.
Not yet…
So, more changes are to be expected--thanks again for testing, and please
continue to comment on the experience!
Peter
