By default all applets are compiled and installed:
mkdir build && cd build
meson --buildtype plain --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
ninja -v
sudo ninja install
If individual applets (or groups of applets) are to be compiled and installed use
the options described in meson_options.txt i.e. use -Dbuild-all=false -Dbuild-appletoption=true
e.g. to build just the hotcorners and weathershow applets
mkdir build && cd build
meson --buildtype plain -Dbuild-all=false -Dbuild-hotcorners=true -Dbuild-weathershow=true --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
ninja -v
sudo ninja install
