Installs the specified header files from the source tree into the
|
|
|
|
system header directory (usually `/{prefix}/include`) during the
|
|
|
|
install step. This directory can be overridden by specifying it with
|
|
|
|
the `install_dir` keyword argument. If you just want to install into a
|
|
|
|
subdirectory of the system header directory, then use the `subdir`
|
|
|
|
argument. As an example if this has the value `myproj` then the
|
|
|
|
headers would be installed to `/{prefix}/include/myproj`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
example: |
|
|
|
|
For example, this will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into
|
|
|
|
`/{prefix}/include`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h')
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into `/{prefix}/include/myproj`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h', subdir : 'myproj')
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install `common.h` and `kola.h` into `/{prefix}/cust/myproj`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
install_headers('common.h', 'proj/kola.h', install_dir : 'cust', subdir : 'myproj')
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will install `common.h` into `/{prefix}/include` and `kola.h`
|
|
|
|
into `/{prefix}/include/proj/`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```meson
|
|
|
|
install_headers('common.h, 'proj/kola.h', preserve_path : true)
|
|
|
|
```
