NB: Check the sysconfdir setting to determine where mpd will look for mpd.conf; if you expect mpd to look for /etc/mpd.conf the sysconfdir must be '/etc' (i.e., not 'etc' which will result in mpd looking for /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf):
.. code-block:: none
meson configure output/release |grep sysconfdir
If this is not /etc (or another path you wish to specify):
.. code-block:: none
$ meson configure output/release -Dsysconfdir='/etc' ; meson configure output/release |grep syscon
sysconfdir /etc Sysconf data directory
