Which IDE for Meson projects on Linux

[David Ing]

I am struggling to find an IDE which makes it easy to debug a Meson project on Linux.  I found some chatter online saying that gnome-builder is the only Meson-supported IDE for Linux.

I am working with gstreamer which actually has 2 co-existing build systems:  Autotools (being phased out) and Meson (the new one).  When I load the project into gnome-builder it detects an Autotools setup and I cannot set it to Meson through the UI.  (The UI is stuck on Autotools and I can't change it.)

I am wondering ... which IDE do people use for Meson projects on Linux?  What are my choices?

Personally, I use QtCreator. But I don't run builds or debug in it.

I know that it is possible to build and debug in it using ninja.

Here is useful info about the setup process for QtCreator: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43792181/how-to-setup-meson-with-qt-creator

There is also this list (which I didn't try yet): https://mesonbuild.com/IDE-integration.html#existing-integrations

Hope this helps =).

Those links are helpful.  I am going to try this one first:  https://github.com/prozum/meson-cmake-wrapper

I hope the wrapper will allow cmake to pick up my pkg-config dependencies.

I use emacs with meson-mode with some tweaks. Dune (OCaml) styled insertion shortcuts are missing, however.
