Hi, back after a few day without computer, sorry for coming "after the battle" (translation of a French slang). When I was looking for options about NDEBUG etc, I could not find anything in meson_options.txt. That's how I found "meson configure" (in the man page). So I'm a little sorry that "meson configure" disappeared from the page about building with meson... I guess that when we are familiar with meson , we'll be able to use only meson_options.txt, which has options specific to the package. But for general options, and at least for me, "meson configure" is a good source of information (what? You do not have a 224 char wide terminal?) But overall, thanks to all of you, the new page is a great source of information!
