Target compilation question

[mscofield0]

How do I prevent target B being compiled when compiling target A, when both target A and B depend on target C?

The problem is that when I try compiling my test target via meson test or ninja test, the app target also gets compiled.

Basically, this is by design. But if you run specific tests using meson test testname it will only rebuild the explicit dependencies of that one test program -- or meson test --no-rebuild will assume you've taken care of building all test dependencies and not do so itself.

Ah, okay. Thanks.
