    Building
    ========
    -GPlugin uses CMake (http://www.cmake.org) as its build system. As such
    +GPlugin uses meson (http://mesonbuild.com/) as its build system. As such
    compiling is a little bit different than your typical ./configure, make,
    sudo make install. But luckily for you, not too much different.
    -While it is not required, it is highly recommended that you use a separate
    -build dir. As such, these instructions use a separate build directory.
    +Meson requires you to build in a separate directory than your source. As such, these instructions use a separate build directory.
    To compile you need to run the following commands:
    - mkdir build
    + meson build
    cd build
    - cmake ..
    - make
    - sudo make install
    + ninja install
    If you want/need to tweak the build system (to enable/disable certain loaders)
    -you can do so at any time by using a CMake user interface. For example, if you
    -have the CMake curses gui installed, you can do this by running "ccmake .."
    -from the build directory.

    +you can do so at any time by using mesonconf in the build directory.
