Research direction

The issue names the project's rules file and the elementary OS getting started documentation, but not their paths. Locate those entry points first, review how this template currently uses CMake, and compare the referenced Meson migration context. Done means adapting the rules file for Meson and confirming the getting started documentation remains accurate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

All Aboard The Meson Future Hype Train explains that elementary OS will be switchting over from CMake to Meson. This probably means we'll also need to update this project, since it's used in the getting started documentation

you can expect our documentation to be updated as soon as the first preview builds of Juno become available to developers.

From: All Aboard The Meson Future Hype Train

I thought it might be interesting to have an issue for discussions and to track progress.

ToDo:

  • Adapt rules file
