With meson-0.60, meson compile stopped working with some targets: $ meson compile -C build update-man-rules ERROR: Can't invoke target `update-man-rules`: ambiguous name. Add target type and/or path: `PATH/NAME:TYPE` This is obviously a regression in meson, but based on a chat with the maintainers, it seems that there's some disagreement as to whether 'meson compile' is useful and how exactly it should work. Since we're already at meson 0.60.3 and this hasn't been fixed, and people generally don't seem to consider this an issue, let's return to documenting the usual practice of 'ninja -C build' that just works everywhere. (Since nobody has raised any fuss in systemd, it means that people are generally using the shorter form during development too. I only noticed because I pasted a command from the release docs when preparing -rc1.)
