production.**
-**Mesa requires Meson >= 0.52.0 to build.**

+ If your distribution doesn't have something recent enough in its
+ repositories, you can `try the methods suggested here
+ <https://mesonbuild.com/Getting-meson.html>`__ to install the
+ current version of Meson.
The Meson build of Mesa is tested on Linux, macOS, Windows, Cygwin,
Haiku, FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, NetBSD, and should work on OpenBSD.
ninja -C build/ install

-
- autotools automatically updated translation files (used by the DRI
- configuration tool) as part of the build process, Meson does not do
- this. Instead, you will need do this:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- ninja -C build/ xmlpool-pot xmlpool-update-po xmlpool-gmo
