In general, -option names between both build systems are mostly the same. In most cases, -``--enable-foo`` in waf becomes ``-Dfoo=enabled`` in meson. Likewise, -``--disable-foo`` becomes ``-Dfoo=disabled``. For the rest of this document, -Waf options will be noted as ``--foo`` while meson options are noted as -``foo``. - -## Universal Options - -Meson has several [universal options](https://mesonbuild.com/Builtin-options.html#universal-options) -that you get for free. In some cases, these overlapped with custom waf options. - -* ``--libmpv-static`` and ``--libmpv-shared`` were combined into one option: - ``libmpv``. Use ``default_library`` to control if you want to build static or - shared libraries. -* Waf had a boolean ``--optimize`` option. In meson, this is a universal option, - ``optimization``, which can take several different values. In mpv's meson - build, the default is ``2``. -* Instead of ``--debug-build``, meson simply calls it ``debug``. It is enabled - by default. - -## Changed Options - -* The legacy lua names (``52``, ``52deb``, etc.) for ``--lua`` are not - supported in the meson build. Instead, pass the generic pkg-config values - such as ``lua52``, ``lua5.2``, etc. -* ``--lgpl`` was changed to ``gpl``. If ``gpl`` is false, the build is LGPL2.1+. - -### Boolean Options - -The following options are all booleans that accept ``true`` or ``false`` -instead of ``enabled`` or ``disabled``. - -* ``build-date`` -* ``cplayer`` -* ``gpl`` -* ``libmpv`` -* ``ta-leak-report`` -* ``tests`` - -## Removed Options - -There are options removed with no equivalent in the meson build. - -* ``--asm`` was removed since it doesn't do anything. -* ``--android`` was removed since meson knows if the machine is android. -* ``--clang-compilation-database`` was removed. Meson can do this on its own - by invoking ninja (``ninja -t compdb``). -* ``--tvos`` was removed since it doesn't do anything. -* ``--static-build`` was removed. Use ``default_library``. -* ``--swift-static`` was removed. The swift library always dynamically links. - -## Renamed Options - -These are some other options that were renamed. - -* ``--gl-wayland`` was renamed to ``egl-wayland``. -* ``--swift`` was renamed to ``swift-build``. - -## Other - -* The meson build supports passing the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` environment variable -during the compilation step for those who want reproducibility without having to -disable the build date. -* The ``Configuration`` line shown by ``mpv -v`` does not show everything passed on -cli since meson does not have any easy way to access a user's argv. Instead, it -simply shows whatever the value of ``prefix`` is regardless if it was specified -or not. |
