meson: Build the project.
$ meson compile -C ${path-to-build_dir}
try on your machine
The command "meson compile -C ${path-to-build_dir}" is used to compile a Meson project located in the specified build directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "meson compile": This is the main part of the command that tells the Meson build system to compile the project.
- "-C ${path-to-build_dir}": This option specifies the path to the build directory where the project's build files are located. The Meson build system uses these files to generate the necessary build instructions and dependencies.
By providing the path to the build directory, you can compile the project without having to navigate to the specific directory manually.
Keep in mind that you need to have Meson installed on your system to use this command. Additionally, you need to have already configured the project (using "meson configure") before you can successfully compile it.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
