Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] meson_options.txt: Document that "configure" reads this file, too
Date: Fri,  3 Sep 2021 10:13:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210903081358.956267-6-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210903081358.956267-1-thuth@redhat.com>

Add a comment that meson_options.txt is also parsed by the configure
script and that the options need a certain layout for this to succeed.
