Shifting from `scikit-build` to `meson`
czgdp1807 opened this issue · comments
Hi folks. We are consideringmeson
as a build system. It is a simple and modern build system being used by SciPy and NumPy already. It is compatible with all the platforms and is available on conda
.
Using meson
we can also make distribution C++ tests optional, therefore reducing the download size for the end users and saving a lot of internet bandwidth/energy with the increase in the number of downloads. Already done in NumPy - numpy/numpy#26274 and a work in progress in SciPy - scipy/scipy#20712.
