* Add boost_root support to properties files
This commit implements `boost_root`, `boost_includedir`, and
`boost_librarydir` variable support to native and cross properties
files. The search order is currently environment variables, then
these variables, and finally a platform-dependent search.
* Add preliminary boost_root / boost_includedir tests
Each test contains a fake "version.hpp", as that's how boost detection is
currently being done. We look for this file relative to the root directory,
which probably shouldn't be allowed (it previously was for BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
but not for BOOST_ROOT). It also cannot help with breakage detection in
libraries, however it looks like this wasn't getting tested beforehand.
I've given the two unique version numbers that shouldn't be present in any
stock version of boost (001 and 002).
* Add return type to detect_split_root
* Return empty list when nothing found in BOOST_ROOT, rather than None
* Update boost_root tests
* Create nativefile.ini based on location of run_project_tests.py
* Add fake libraries to ensure boost_librarydir is being used
* Require all search paths for boost to be absolute
* Redo boost search ordering
To better match things like pkg-config, we now look through native/cross files,
then environment variables, then system locations for boost installations.
Path detection does not fall back from one method to the next for properties or
environment variables--if boost_root, boost_librarydir, or boost_includedir is
specified, they must be sufficient to find boost. Likewise for BOOST_ROOT and
friends. pkg-config detection is still optional falling back to system-wide
detection, for Conan.
(Also, fix a typo in test 33's nativefile)
* Correct return type for detect_roots
* Correct boost dependency search order in documentation
* Print debug information for boost library finding, to resolve CI issues
* Handle native/cross file templates in a more consistent way
All tests can now create a `nativefile.ini.in` if they need to use some
parameter that the testing framework knows about but they can't.
* Pass str--rather than PosixPath--to os.path.exists, for Python35
* Look for boost minor versions, rather than boost patch versions in test cases
* Drop fake dylib versions of boost_regex
* Prefer get_env_var to use of os.environ
* Correct error reporting for relative BOOST_ROOT paths
* Bump version this appears in. Also, change "properties file" to "machine file" as that appears to be the more common language.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
The system tool is always the wrong thing to use and cause hard to debug
issues when trying to link system libraries with cross built binaries.
The ExternalDependency base class already had a method to deal with
this, used by PkgConfigDependency and QtBaseDependency, so it should
make things more consistent.
Since gpgme 1.13.0, pkg-config files are available and this is the
preferred way to detect the dependency. Without this, projects that wish
to generate pkg-config files that Requires.private on gpgme, now have
their custom dependency() fallbacks overridden with an incorrect
configtool dependency.
We say 'different dependencies support different values for this', but
nowhere document what values are supported, so the only way to find these
out is to read the source, or guess. Make a start at doing that.
PR #1852 only adds mention of this to the release note.
I think it's useful to have a list of all dependency names which are treated
specifically in Dependency.md, so add 'thread' and 'openmp'.
The example provided for the `get_pkgconfig_variable` when using using the `define_variable` parameter is not the best example, because it is using `prefix` for both. This changes the retrieved variable for `libdir` so the efect of the variable redefinition is more noticeable.
Meson is able to redefine variables when retrieving them from
`pkg-config` dependencies. However, the documentation is missing.
This patch adds documentation for this feature.
