then you can get down to the .c files, some of which will have -D macro

I dunno, I have a MIDI conversion project I extended that created the parser
using flex.

I run "info flex" and I shudder.

survive that and you can move on to WiX to create dotnet installation
packages, Maven, Jenkins, or the Angular universe.

Isn't Wix like, deprecated? (years ago)

Definitely no free lunches.

I remember years ago looking into bjam, and it *almost* worked the best.
Couldn't figure out how to get Doxygen documentation generated
with an alternate build directory.

Anyway, I am liking Meson reasonbly much.
