Hi @fwsmit I just to hear your thoughts for moving Dunst to a better build system such as Meson. The current makefile is using alot of GNUisms and isn't that portable and readable for that matter.

I would like to try to give this a shot.

This can also fix alot of consistencies, as this project is featureful and aims for both wayland and x11.

Yeah, go for it!

What inconsistencies have you noticed with the current setup?

Unfortunately, i am unable to have the current test framework moved to Meson (valgrind is a maybe). This is mostly because of how it is designed (run this program called 'test').

I am unsure what to do.

For the time being i will immediately give up due to the complexity of the tests and makefile as a whole:

I had underestimated how big this project is, which is why i initially thought this would be quite easy, as i had figured dunst is this simple notification daemon program.

Could you try atleast making it smaller?
