BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
==================

**polkit** uses [meson build system](https://mesonbuild.com/) for configuration with *ninja* as backend and *gcc* as compiler.  
To configure and compile your copy of polkit tarball, simply follow meson build instructions in the following manner:
```
$ meson setup [[-D option]...] target_directory
$ meson compile -C target_directory
...
# meson install -C target_directory
```

List of available configuration options can be obtained with `meson configure` command.

I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE
====================
Your merge requests and patch suggestions are welcome! If you want to contribute, a merge request on this Gitlab instance is a preferred way, yet not the only one. Please consult other options with this upsteam's maintainers.

Should you already have a freedesktop.org Gitlab account, please file your merge request. In this case, please **don't force-push any further changes** into the merge request and add a new commit into the MR instead.

Thank you in advance.
