I have set up a simple hello world in C++ with meson
& ninja
as a build chain. The project compiles just fine, but when I press the Run
button it just runs ninja and then ninja install:
ninja
ninja install
ninja: no work to do.
[0/1] Installing files.
Nothing to install.
I get the following warning as well:
ide-run-manager[ 17574]: WARNING: Failed to locate any build targets
# meson.build
project('test', 'cpp')
executable('hello', 'src/main.cpp')
I have been digging around in the very limited settings of gnome-builder and haven't been able to find any place to set what build target Run
should run. I just want it to run my hello
program.
Edit: I found the solution at this reddit thread. You have to mark the executable as install. Then gnome-builder installs the application and runs it.
