Hello,

I just got a copy of the mu source code. When I tried to build it, I ran first
./autogen:

,----
| $ ./autogen.sh
|
| ***meson build setup
| /usr/bin/meson
| Directory does not contain a valid build tree:
| /home/husain/src/mu/build
| ***Now run 'ninja -C build' to build mu
| ***Or check the Makefile for some useful targets
`----

But when I run `ninja -C build` I get:


,----
| $ninja -C build
| ninja: Entering directory `build'
| ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
`----

Is the project missing `build.ninja` file? I noticed that build instructions are
not included in the project. I recall that there used to be a file INSTALL
somewhere there.

Thanks,
Husain

Likely, you had some old build/ directory lying around; remove it and
try again. The new build instructions are in NEWS.org.

Kind regards,
Dirk.
