Command Explanations
--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype
suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may
produce unoptimized binaries.
-Ddocs=false: Allow building this package without Gi-DocGen-2023.3
installed. If you have Gi-DocGen-2023.3 installed and
you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation, a
meson configure command will reset this
option.
