This adds a new keyword argument to the init method, `allow_fail`. When
set to True (default is False) then a failure to configure is not an
error, and output is still returned. This can be useful for cases where
we expect initialization to fail, and want to check the output.
There are two problems with having this in the try/except block. The
first is that both of the if statements will raise, and the except
statement cathces `Exception`, so it catches these two cases, prints a
message that we either don't want or already printed, then re-raises.
We don't actually want to do anything with the open()ed file, just
immediately close it.
The CalledProcessError doesn't have its return returncode checked
here, even though other code with the same type of context manager does.
Fixes regression in commit 75688240cf.
Even though this function is *currently* only invoked on Windows, these
environment variables may not actually exist -- and apparently don't in
at least the "UnusedMissingReturn / windows" test run, which... did not
get triggered by that commit, since it only edited the testsuite runner,
not any test cases. \o/
This adds the noyywrap option so flex doesn't wait for more input once
we reached EOF. This also adds the nounput and noinput options to fix
compilation warnings.
We can now run the test as expected.
The problem is what happens in this case:
```meson
add_project_arguments('-DHOST', language : 'c', native : false)
add_project_arguments('-DBUILD', langauge : 'c', native : true)
```
The original meson behavior was that in an host == build configuration
only the `native : false` would be applied. This doesn't really make
sense as in that case the build machine is the host machine, so it is
both the native and non-native machine at once. We changed this so that
the both would be applied in a host == build configuration, but this is
a behavioral change, and needs to be reverted.
Fixes: #9037
Don't just create a .PHONY target which runs a script that magically
generates files ninja doesn't know about. It results in untracked files,
and `meson install` has to run additional commands instead of copying
over files, and then cannot track them to uninstall them later.
I'm not even really sure why it was originally done via a proxy script,
most likely bad legacy design. This is after all one of the oldest
modules...
One side effect of this is that meson doesn't know how to rename
build.CustomTarget files on install (only data files are supported?),
and every file needs to be installed as "domainname.mo" so it must be
named that in-tree too. To prevent clashes, every locale gets its own
locale-specific subdirectory.
Once we are doing that anyway, we can output them to the actual
structure required by the gettext family of functions, and
bindtextdomain() can therefore point to this location if desired. This
might be useful for running localized programs from the build tree.
When sending them to the introspection scanner, we must always filter
all compiler and linker flags, because g-ir-scanner does not accept any
random argument but only a specific subset.
Fixes: #8876
In the case main->subp->subsubp, if subsubp succeed to configure but
subp subsequentially fails, subsubp is still being built but its summary
was missing.
On linux system ldconfig needs to be called to update
the ld.so.cache to be able to load libraries from
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu on debian based
distributions for example.
