| <p>There are a number of ways to build the Meson project.</p> |
| <p>Using the Launch bar, just hit the hammer: |
| <img border="0" src="images/MesonHammerIcon.png"/> icon and the project will be built appropriately for the launch type. If the project is unconfigured, any options specified in the Property Page are used to run the <i>meson</i> command. Otherwise, just the buildtype is defaulted according to the launch target in the Launch bar (run = release, debug = debug). |
| </p> |
| <p>If any errors occur during the <i>meson</i> stage, they are reported and the build is stopped. Otherwise, the <i>ninja</i> command is run and the results output to the build console.</p> |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| <p>The build can also be started using the Eclipse hammer: |
| <img border="0" src="images/MesonHammerIcon.png"/> icon or via Project -> Build. |
| </p> |
| <p>Cleaning the project is done using Project -> Clean. The clean operation performs a <i>meson clean</i> command for the active configuration.</p> |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| <p>If the user needs to build a different target (e.g. <i>install</i>) or specify environment variables to ninja, then they must use the <b>Run ninja</b> context menu item that is available when right-clicking on a project or file in the project in the Project Explorer View. This brings up the <i>Run Ninja</i> dialog.</p> |
