-Normal compilation in /usr/local:
-
- meson . build
- ninja -C build
- sudo ninja -C build install
-
-For meson build generic options:
-
- meson --help
-
-For a list of project specific options supported:
-
- cat meson_options.txt
-
-To set 1 or more project specific options:
-
- meson --prefix=/path/to -Doption=value [-Dother=value2] [...] . build
-
-To display current configuration:
-
- meson configure build
-
-The above will only work after at least the following is done:
-
- meson . build

-** QUICK AND DIRTY HELP **

-How clean out the build and config and start fresh:
-
- rm -rf build
-
-How to make a dist tarball and check its build:
-(must do it from git tree clone and commit all changes to git first)
-
- ninja -C build dist
-
-How to change prefix:
-
- meson --prefix=/path/to/prefix . build
-
-How to install in a specific destination directory for packaging:
-
- DESTDIR=/path/to/destdir ninja -C build install

+You will need normal build tooling installed such as a compiler (gcc
+or clang for example), pkg-config, ninja, any relevant pakcage-dev or
+package-devel packages if your distribution splits out development
+headers etc.
+
+Depending on where dependencies (like efl), you might have to set your
+`PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable like:
+```
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
+```
+
+Also note that some distributions like to add extra arch directories
+to your library locations so you might have to have more like:
+```
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
+```
+
+You will need to enusre that the destination library direcytory (e.g.
+`/usr/local/lib` is in your /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
+files and after insgtaling anything that installes libraries you
+re-run `ldconfig`.
+
+You might also want to add the destination bin dir to your environment
+variable PATH like:
+```
+export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
