mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-D systemd=false \
.. &&
ninja
To check the results, execute: ninja test. Note that you must have python-dbusmock installed in order for the tests to complete successfully. Some tests may fail depending on the init system in use.

ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
