-# Differences Between Meson and Waf
-
-mpv currently supports two different build systems: waf and meson. 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.
