Build instructions are wrong

[alyssais]

Problem

The build instructions say to set dontAddPrefix=1 so that the shell try to install into the store, but it still tries to do this for every directory variable except for prefix, because dontAddPrefix in mesonConfigurePhase only affects the prefix, not e.g. the libdir.

I think we need NixOS/nixpkgs#340089, and we could say to run with dontAddPrefix=1 setOutputFlags=.

I just ran into this too. Is it reasonable to still use the autoconf-based build instructions? If so, should the doc revert to them in the meantime?
