Hello, I am working on a project that uses Bison to generate a parser and Meson as build system. I would like to include Bison as a subproject [1] in particular to make it easier for folks to hack on the project on OSes where managing dependencies is not easy (ie Windows). For this, I would need to have a Meson build definition for Bison too. Has anyone worked on building Bison with Meson? If not, I may enough motivation to try to find the time to port the autotools based build system to Meson. Would a Meson based build system something that could be included upstream? That would make it less likely to bitrot in the near future. Despite many projects moving to Meson, unfortunately, I don't think that it yet supports as many niche systems as autotools, thus it may not yet be desirable for Bison to move away from autotools Thank you.
