Does anyone have experience with using meson to wrap around a
dub project?
I have a typical dub project, meaning I have a dub dependency
but I want to use meson for two reasons:
1. I want to distribute the application in form of a snap
package (https://snapcraft.io/). Snapcraft does not recognize
dub as a build tool afaik.
2. dub lacks very basic options like installing an app in
users' PATH (https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/839). The
issue seems to be stalled for a while, which is quite a shame.
What I want to do is basically when I write `ninja` it should
invoke `dub build`.
I would like to have a "dub plugin" for snapcraft (and other
packaging systems).
Adding "install" to dub sounds it's like re-inventing the wheel
to me.
