7Meson has a very simple notational shorthand for enabling thread support on your build targets. First you obtain the thread dependency object like this:
8
9```meson
10thread_dep = dependency('threads')
11```
12
13And then you just use it in a target like this:
14
15```meson
16executable('threadedprogram', ...
17  dependencies : thread_dep)
18```
