+Building a Meson Package
+------------------------
+
+Applications built with the `Meson build system <https://mesonbuild.com/>`__
+just need a recipe that has sources described in :term:`SRC_URI` and inherits
+the :ref:`ref-classes-meson` class.
+
+The :oe_git:`ipcalc recipe </meta-openembedded/tree/meta-networking/recipes-support/ipcalc>`
+is a simple example of an application without dependencies::
+
+   SUMMARY = "Tool to assist in network address calculations for IPv4 and IPv6."
+   HOMEPAGE = "https://gitlab.com/ipcalc/ipcalc"
+
+   SECTION = "net"
+
+   LICENSE = "GPL-2.0-only"
+   LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=b234ee4d69f5fce4486a80fdaf4a4263"

+
+Applications with dependencies are likely to inherit the
+:ref:`ref-classes-pkgconfig` class, as ``pkg-config`` it is the default method
+that Meson uses to find dependencies and compile applications against them.
