Thank you very much for testing this, much appreciated!

OK, no problem.

The git project only provides source code (i.e. the project does not
produce any binary distribution packages). So, each 'distributor' can
use whatever tools they prefer to create their packages.

[A long time ago, we had some support for producing Red Hat and Debian
packages (if my memory serves me correctly), but that didn't last long!]

If such a thing as a 'default build method' exists, then I would say that
the Makefile (without configure) is it! (Meson is the *latest* build system
used in the project, not the default).

At present there are no such plans.
