With the above info, the question is how to incorporate it into
LFS/BLFS. To install meson/ninja into LFS requires four new packages:
libffi, python3, ninja, and meson. I've tested this and they work
fine. The only issue in my mind is whether we need to keep some of
these in BLFS. libffi will not be needed, but Python3 and ninja have
several optional dependencies not in LFS. meson appears to only need
Python3.
I have incorporated libffi, python3, ninja and meson into LFS chapter 5
on my end. It did require an UTF-8 locale to be generated when building
chapter 5 glibc, but it wasn't a big deal. I do think Dj has a working
prototype. I did not take a look at it, however, so I can't speak about it.
I also had OpenSSL in my patchset, but Bruce was able to test without
it. Any particular reason for Chapter 5 instead of Chapter 6? I'm
thinking go ahead and install in chapter 6. You can rebuild Python for
TK and OpenSSL later without modification to the existing BLFS
instructions. Ninja can make a mention of something to the effect of "If
you use emacs and want the syntax lisp files installed..." Meson can
take advantage of several other languages to complete the test suite
later on as well, but I'm thinking libffi, ninja, and meson can be in
LFS only if we go for Chapter 6.
