User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libgudev

mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
