Module definition files may be useful when building with gcc on Windows also
(e.g. if the existing build uses them, if exports are aliased, if we were
retro enough to export by ordinal, etc.)
Add the .def file to the link command line when using gcc on Windows
Run the appropriate windows tests irrespective of compiler.
Appveyor takes a *long* time to run (~45 minutes per commit currently),
and it does no parallelism. It is possible to skip merge requests that
only touch documentation, this commit adds that support.
Because Appveyor (and Travis) test a merge of the pull request into
master and not the branch itself this will only skip builds that only
touch docs, and not pull requests that do both doc and non-doc changes.
Currently if flatten() is passed a non-list object, it returns that
object. This is surprising behavior, and prone to causing serious and
numerous problems, since many objects implement the iterable interface,
and thus can be used in cases a list is expected, but with undesirable
results.
Usage:
pkgconfig.generate(
...
description : 'A library with custom variables.',
variables : ['foo=bar', 'datadir=${prefix}/data']
)
The variables 'prefix', 'libdir' and 'includedir' are reserved, meson will
fail with an error message.
Variables can reference each other with the pkgconfig notation, e.g.
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data',
'otherdatadir=${datadir}/other']
meson does not check this for correctness or that the referenced variable
exists, we merely keep the same order as specified.
Although not stricly necessary, it is good to mention $DESTDIR in the
explanation for add_install_script, since it might not be obvious for the
user that it is available.
Also add punctuation to be consistent.
v2:
- fix "witht" typo
- reword $DESTDIR description to say that it is inherited from the environment
- also describe $MESONINTROSPECT
This simplifies everything since it means we will always search for the
dependency again on the system if it wasn't found. This is particularly
important when running `ninja reconfigure` with an edited
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to a path that contains more pkg-config files.
The old caching was a mess of spaghetti code layered over pasta code.
The new code is well-commented, is clear about what it's trying to do,
and uses a blacklist of keyword arguments instead of a whitelist while
generating identifiers for dep caching which makes it much more robust
for future changes.
The only side-effect of forgetting about a new keyword argument would
be that the dependency would not be cached unless the values of that
keyword arguments were the same in the cached and new dependency.
There are also more tests which identify scenarios that were broken
earlier.
This actually caught a cached-dependency related bug for me that the
test-time regen did not. I also increased the ninja wait time to
1 second because that's actually how long you need to sleep to be
guaranteed that a change will be detected.
Must poke upstream about https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/371
All our cached_dep magic was totally useless since we ended up using
the same identifier for native and cross deps. Just nuke all this
cached_dep code since it is very error-prone and improve the
identifier generation instead.
For instance, this is broken *right now* with the `type_name` kwarg.
Add a bunch of tests to ensure that all this actually works...
