I use something like this in my guix.scm for a package that uses meson
and requires a version newer than 0.53.2
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(use-modules
(guix build-system meson)
…
(gnu packages build-tools)
)
(define-public foo
(package
…
(build-system meson-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:meson ,meson-0.55))
…
))
--->8---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the defintion of meson-0.55 in the build-tools.scm has the
comment
;; Added temporarily for packages that need it.
;; TODO: Remove when core-updates is merged.
(define-public meson-0.55
…
)
So it might be safer to use meson-next to avoid breakage if/when
meson-0.55 gets removed.
