Took me a while to figure out how to build the documentation with Meson: ``` XML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/local/etc/xml/catalog ninja -C build alldocs ``` It works. Perhaps we should add: ``` ninja -C build alldocs ``` ... command to installation.sgml file while on it, to the 17.4.1 Building and Installation with Meson / Short Version section. > > 2.
