Description: cmeson is a text-based user interface for the [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) build system and offers a convenient, graphical way to configure build options instead of having to memorize and type them out in the terminal. Due to incompatibility of its GUI library, cmeson only supports MacOS, Linux and other Unix-like systems. Consequently, if you want to use this application on Windows, you can do so through WSL or Cygwin. The name and functionality of this application are derived from a similar application for [cmake](https://cmake.org/) ccmake.

        # Installation
        
        From PyPI:
        	
        	pip3 install --user cmeson
        
        From source:
        
        	git clone https://github.com/proskur1n/cmeson
        	cd cmeson
        	pip3 install --user .
        
        # Usage
        
        	cmeson builddir
        	cmeson [OPTIONS] builddir [sourcedir] [TRAILING]
        
        	OPTIONS
        		-h, --help               Show help message and exit
        		--backend BACKEND        Select backend to query build options for
        
        **sourcedir** is a directory containing *meson.build* file and **builddir** is the build directory for the project. **sourcedir** is only needed for projects for which *meson setup* has not been run yet and defaults to the current working directory if not specified.
        
        The **--backend** option determined the list of options in the backend section and defaults to ninja. If you specify a backend using this option, you must not change the backend in TUI, as this will result in an error from meson. See the meson documentation for a complete list of supported backends.
        
        If any trailing options are given, they are passed as-is to meson and are not interpreted by this application. Normally you do not need to specify any trailing options, as most of them can be configured directly through TUI.
