meson: valgrind wrapper should return correct errors
While trying to raise an exception on failures, it instead raised an
exception for misusing the exception. CalledProcessError is only
supposed to be used when given a return code and a command, and it
prints:

Command '{cmd}' returned non-zero exit status {ret}

Passing an error message string instead, just errored out with:

TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument

Instead use the subprocess module's base error which does accept string
messages. Everything that used to error out, still errors out, but now
they do so with a slightly prettier console message.

Meson build system for zstandard

Meson is a build system designed to optimize programmer productivity. It aims to do this by providing simple, out-of-the-box support for modern software development tools and practices, such as unit tests, coverage reports, Valgrind, CCache and the like.

This Meson build system is provided with no guarantee and maintained by Dima Krasner <dima@dimakrasner.com>.

It outputs one libzstd, either shared or static, depending on default_library option.

How to build

cd to this meson directory (build/meson)

meson setup -Dbin_programs=true -Dbin_contrib=true builddir
cd builddir
ninja             # to build
ninja install     # to install

You might want to install it in staging directory:

DESTDIR=./staging ninja install

To configure build options, use:

meson configure

See man meson(1).
