What do I need to do in order to build the project with
"lubeck" dependency in meson?
In difference to dub, meson will _not_ auto-download required
software for you. You have to ways to go forward with this:
1 (IMHO the better way, especially if you ever want a distro to
package your thing):
Install lubeck ala `git clone
https://github.com/kaleidicassociates/lubeck && cd lubeck &&
meson build && ninja -C build install`. This will install
lubeck to your system (by default into `/usr/local`, you can
set a different by passing `--prefix` to meson). This will
generate a so called pkg-config (`.pc`) file:
https://github.com/kaleidicassociates/lubeck/blob/master/meson.build#L49 which meson will discover.
2 (The probably easier way in the short term):
Install lubeck via meson, then discover the dependency like
specified here:
https://mesonbuild.com/Dependencies.html#dependency-method
Why do you think 1 is the better way? I feel like it is a lot of
manual work for just one dependency. Also, it is not a good idea
to pollute your /usr/local with non-distro packages.
