Build with meson/ninja

I have prepared some build scripts for meson/ninja, README.md is updated with information how to build with meson.
This also automates the creation of Xcode projects, that I also described, but did not test.

Hi,

I could not build on OSX, neither with ninja, nor Xcode. I am not used to meson, so here is the relevant error of meson build

meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unable to detect linker for compiler `cc -Wl,--version`
stdout: 
stderr: ld: unknown options: --version 
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

The web site of the project is https://github.com/jlaurens/synctex, better than texlive

An old meson was hiding the most recent one. Things are OK now.

In order to test if the build is correct, I run

./debug/synctex edit -o 1:100:100:../../synctex/synctex\ test\ files/1/edit\ query/1.pdf

from the build directory, the expected output contains

SyncTeX result begin
Output:../../synctex/synctex test files/1/edit query/1.pdf
Input:./1.tex
Line:23
Column:-1
Offset:0
Context:
SyncTeX result end

Maybe this kind of information is relevant...
BTW, I am on OSX

Thank you for all the comments, I hope they are now addressed
