Andrii Nakryiko 1a26b51b1c meson: kill meson.build as it's not used anymore
Meson.build was added to facilitate systemd integration, but systemd
integration went different direction and we don't need meson.build
anymore. So remove it and not maintain it anymore.

This is a mirror of [bpf-next linux tree](https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)'s
`tools/lib/bpf` directory plus its supporting header files.
The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:
- `src/` <-> `bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/`
- `include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h`
- `include/uapi/linux/bpf.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h`
- `include/uapi/linux/btf.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h`
- `include/uapi/linux/if_link.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h`
- `include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_xdp.h`
- `include/uapi/linux/netlink.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h`
- `include/tools/libc_compat.h` <-> `bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h`
Other header files at this repo (`include/linux/*.h`) are reduced versions of
their counterpart files at bpf-next's `tools/include/linux/*.h` to make compilation
successful.
Build [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/libbpf/libbpf.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/libbpf/libbpf)
=====
libelf is an internal dependency of libbpf and thus it is required to link
against and must be installed on the system for applications to work.
pkg-config is used by default to find libelf, and the program called can be
overridden with `PKG_CONFIG`.
If using `pkg-config` at build time is not desired, it can be disabled by setting
`NO_PKG_CONFIG=1` when calling make.
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so:
```bash
$ cd src
$ make
```
To build only static libbpf.a library in directory
build/ and install them together with libbpf headers in a staging directory
root/:
```bash
$ cd src
$ mkdir build root
$ BUILD_STATIC_ONLY=y OBJDIR=build DESTDIR=root make install
```
To build both static libbpf.a and shared libbpf.so against a custom libelf
dependency installed in /build/root/ and install them together with libbpf
headers in a build directory /build/root/:
```bash
$ cd src
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/build/root/lib64/pkgconfig DESTDIR=/build/root make install
```
