Can I make a PR to implement meson builder support

[AtilaSaraiva]

Hello guys,

I know there is the CMake already in place, but I still want to implement support for the meson builder. That way I can wrap this github project as a subproject dependency on my repositories. That way, if the used doenst have it already installed on their machine, it will trigger the compilation. Since it uses ninja, it also may shorten the compilation time considerably.

Thx!

I think you should just make a PR ;)
All build-systems are orthogonal to each other, so this should be fine.

Note: I am not a maintainer here, so have no say in this.

The thing is that I intend to make changes in file structure of the repository, so I'll not be able to maintain support for SCons development, but I intend to still use SCons for recipes (although everyone should be using python by now).

Hmm, I see. I don't think that would be appropriate... Which kind of changes?

On the LAPACK side of things, we had a discussion about this and we decided to remove the meson build. See: Reference-LAPACK/lapack#511
It is not my preference to add a meson build to ScaLAPACK for now. We can discuss about the merit. Please read the discussion related to the PR Reference-LAPACK/lapack#511
