likely to have more bugs than stable releases, obviously.

dbus could be build by using autotools or cmake.
This branch of dbus can be built by using Autotools, CMake or Meson.
The Meson build system is currently considered experimental, but is
likely to become the recommended build system in future.
When using autotools the configure step is initiated by running ./configure
Older versions of dbus required Autotools or CMake, with Autotools
recommended for Unix systems and CMake recommended for Windows systems.
When using Autotools, the configure step is initiated by running ./configure
with or without additional configuration flags. dbus requires GNU Make
(on BSD systems, this is typically called gmake) or a "make" implementation
with compatible extensions.
When using cmake the configure step is initiated by running the cmake
program with or without additional configuration flags.
When using CMake, the configure step is initiated by running the cmake
program with or without additional configuration flags.
Meson only supports out-of-tree builds, and must be passed a directory to put
built and generated sources into. We'll call that directory "build" here. It's
recommended to create a separate build directory for each configuration you
might want to use.
Basic configuration is done with:
``` sh
meson build/
```
This will create the build directory. If any dependencies are missing, you can
install them, or try to remove the dependency with a Meson configuration option
(see below).

When using CMake, inspect README.cmake to see the possible
configuration options and environment variables.
When using Meson, to review the options which Meson chose, run:
``` sh
meson configure build/
```
With additional arguments meson configure can be used to change options for a
previously configured build directory. All options passed to this command are in
the form `-D "option"="value"`. For example:
``` sh
meson configure build/ -Dprefix=/tmp/install
```
