Not tested on a device yet. What that means
meson in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own meson package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so meson should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
meson
Type it in Breadstick's Terminal to start the program.
Compilers and build tools make ARM64 Linux programs on the device itself, with Debian's own toolchain. A big build uses the device's processor and memory, so it takes longer than on a desktop PC, and each parallel job is another process, which counts against the limit Android puts on apps. More in the docs: Troubleshooting: the desktop closes on its own.
