OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system-provided init program, normally /sbin/init . OpenRC uses the meson build system, so use the usual methods for this build system to build and install. rc and rc.shutdown are the hooks from the BSD init into OpenRC. inittab is the same, but for SysVInit as used by most Linux distributions. This can be found in the support folder. Obviously, if you're installing this onto a system that does not use OpenRC by default then you may wish to backup the above listed files, remove them and then install so that the OS hooks into OpenRC. We have an official irc channel, openrc on the libera network. Please connect your irc client to irc.libera.chat and join openrc on that network.
