Make so both executable() targets that are marked as native and
external programs (which are usually build tools compiled for the
host machine) are not supposed to be run with the exe wrapper.
Specifically, wherever we have sources or outputs, we want to use an
OrderedDict so that the build is always deterministic. It was reported
by Olexa Bilaniuk that `ar D` creates static libraries with different
checksums depending on the order of the object files.
See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/951
We don't actually want to preserve the order in which they are listed.
We just want the order to be deterministic and predictable.
For each project this creates a <project>-update-po target.
When ran this updates the pot file and then merges it back
into the po files in the source directory with `msgmerge`
for project maintainers and translators.
Fixes#819
The error message is misleading (talks about external dependencies), and
doesn't tell you what you need to do (use the output of
declare_dependency, dependency, or find_library). At the same time
rename add_external_deps to add_deps since it adds internal deps too.
Plus many more error message improvements all over the place.
Not only does extract_all_objects() now work properly again,
extract_objects() also works if you specify a subset of sources all of
which have been compiled into a single unified object.
So, for instance, this allows you to extract all the objects
corresponding to the C sources compiled into a target consisting of
C and C++ sources.
The use of has_dir_part is a terrible back that we need to move away
from. This will eventually be fixed by always using File() objects
everywhere. For now, this is needed for unity builds to work.
* add support for wrap of mercurial repo, and a test with a clone of the sample subproject used for the git test into a mercuriel repo.
* Added myself to author list, and switched the URL of the sample subproject in the wrap file to one under the control of the project's maintainers.
This is the first step in making Vala support have feature-parity with
C/C++ support. Vala and Vapi sources generated with Generators and
CustomTargets are no longer ignored. Dependencies are setup properly and
they are added to the commandline.
Pre-calculate the output directory for GeneratedList and CustomTarget so
we can directly use the same code for both while compiling C/C++ files
and headers.
There is no reason to have separate branches for GeneratedList and
CustomTarget since both can be used in almost exactly the same way for
generating sources.
This is going to used next for adding generated sources support to Vala.
This isn't useful yet because we currently only have dependencies for
C/C++ targets (the rest all use link deps), but we will need this for
Vala, Rust, and more.
get_filename() made no sense for CustomTarget since it can have multiple
outputs. Also use get_outputs() for GeneratedList since it has the same
meaning and remove unused set_generated().
As a side-effect, we now install all the outputs of a CustomTarget.
