# Build config settings

This page lists the build configuration settings, that is, the settings you can pass when building the project. Please refer to the Using build config settings and Passing arguments to Meson guides for information on how to use them.

build-dir

  By default `meson-python` uses a temporary build directory. This settings allows to select the Meson build directory and prevents it to be deleted when `meson-python` terminates. If the directory does not exists, it will be created. If the directory exists and contains a valid Meson build directory setup, the project will be reconfigured using `meson setup --reconfigure`.

  For backward compatibility reasons, the alternative `builddir` spelling is also accepted.

dist-args

  Extra arguments to be passed to the `meson dist` command.

setup-args

  Extra arguments to be passed to the `meson setup` command.

compile-args

  Extra arguments to be passed to the `ninja` command.

install-args

  Extra arguments to be passed to the `meson install` command.

editable-verbose

  Enable verbose mode when building for an editable install.
