Checking how to aquire the *gettext family of symbols portably is
annoyingly complex, and may come from the libc, or standalone.
builtin dependency:
This detects if libintl is unneeded, because the *gettext family of
symbols is available in the libc.
system dependency:
This detects if libintl is installed as separate software, linkable via
-lintl; unfortunately, GNU gettext does not ship pkg-config files for
it.

mesonbuild.dependencies.__init__ exposes configtool, pkgconfig, cmake
and more in __init__.py, so there's no reason we should be tying
SystemDependency to the internal organization implementation of the
subpackage!
In the 2nd previous commit it took quite some effort to figure out that
the python module "does not exist" because of import errors while
refactoring something completely different.
For dependencies that on some systems are built into libc etc. and don't
need to be separately linked. This is distinct from "system"
dependencies which add linker args.
This allow mypy to catch cases where we accidently assign the dependency
name to the type_name, as it sees them as having different types (though
at runtime they're all strings).
Currently if the version returned is not a supported version, then you
get a lovely stack trace. This is not nice. This can be triggered easily
by adding gcc's `-fdirectives-only` flag, which stops the preprocessor
from doing certain macro expansions, including those used to detect
OpenMP.
Fixes#8652
Instead of using qmake, use config-tool. This is no different than when
we deprecated the other per-dependency config-tool types (sdl2-config,
llvm-config, etc) for just config-tool
Currently the Qt Dependencies still use the old "combined" method for
dependencies with multiple ways to be found. This is problematic as it
means that `get_variable()` and friends don't work, as the dependency
can't implement any of those methods. The correct solution is to make
use of multiple Dependency instances, and a factory to tie them
together. This does that.
To handle QMake, I've leveraged the existing config-tool mechanism,
which allows us to save a good deal of code, and use well tested code
instead of rolling more of our own code.
The one thing this doesn't do, but we probably should, is expose the
macOS ExtraFrameworks directly, instead of forcing them to be found
through QMake. That is a problem for another series, and someone who
cares more about macOS than I do.
It's a method on the QtDependeny that exists purely for the consumption
of the qt module (in the form, return some stuff the module makes into
an instance variable). So put it where it actually belongs, and pass the
qt dependency into it.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
Previously builds would *potentially* get sammed with messaging at
configure time that duplicate entries in an array would be an error in
the future, and the cause was because the same entries were getting
added over and over to pkg_config_path.p
This is a useful thing to document. I wasn't really sure where to put
it, but since it's developer oriented I figured in the code itself was
probably more useful and more likely to be seen than in the markdown
that generates the website.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
hdf5's config-tools will not show compile arguments (including the
include directory) if called without `-c`. Make sure to get both the
compile and link arguments.
