it's the build system we've moved to. there is no more autofoo in efl. for a
little while now actually (a few weeks). so you have encountered meson if you
have tried to build efl. like configure and make - meson is meson + ninja. the
README has not been updated with all the new options yet - but all options for
all meson based things are in meson_options.txt. so that is why you should
have done that. it's the standard.

of course you are. see above. :) there was not INSTALL file - i just added one
now mentioning meson, but it didn't exist. it was even on .gitignore because
autotools generated that file in the tree before - we didn't ship one. with the
move to meson we now do.

well... if the build system is meson and you are looking for away to change a
build option... it might be a little obvious to look there. anyway. i pointed
you to it so you'd find the options... :)

well this is git master and we just removed autotools and moved to meson only a
few weeks ago. you can't expect a new build system to have everything
documented yet for end users.

not impossible - use ctl+shift+v. that also has been addressed upstream a while
back. it was a focus issue with focus going to the wrong place. not that
huge... :)
