Re: Documentation for building with meson

Hi,

I did some tests on windows. I used 'ninja' as a backend.

This command won't work on windows, I think.

Yes, $PWD isn't recognized on windows, %CD% could be alternative.

Need to check what windows does here.

It is same on windows: 'PREFIX/etc'.

I also checked other dirs(bindir, sysconfdir, libdir, includedir, datadir, localedir, mandir), default path is correct for all of them.
