This does not convert the build side, or remove any of the checking it
does. We still need that for other callers of custom target. What we'll
do for those is add an internal interface that defaults things, then
we'll be able to have those callers do their own validation, and the
CustomTarget validation machinary can be removed.
Fixes#9096
This really is more of a struct than a dict, as the types are disjoint
and they are internally handled, (ie, not from user input). This cleans
some things up, in addition I spotted a bug in the ModuleState where the
dict with the version and license is passed to a field that expects just
the version string.
This commit introduces a new type of `HoldableObject`: The
`SecondLevelHolder`. The primary purpose of this class is
to handle cases where two (or more) `HoldableObject`s are
stored at the same time (with one default object). The
best (and currently only) example here is the `BothLibraries`
class.
We need to escape space in variables that gets into cflags or libs
because otherwise we cannot split compiler args when paths contains
spaces. But custom variables are unlikely to be path that gets used in
cflags/libs, and escaping them cause regression in GStreamer that use
space as separator in a list variable.
Some variables are reserved because meson set them automatically. But we
are not setting them for dataonly pc files, so there is no reason to
reserve them.
Fixes: #8583.
By default all subprojects are installed. If --skip-subprojects is given
with no value only the main project is installed. If --skip-subprojects
is given with a value, it should be a coma separated list of subprojects
to skip and all others will be installed.
Fixes: #2550.
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
This fix a regression caused by
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/7837, it wanted to make
InternalDependency's external_deps private but has side effect of making
StatisLibrary's external_deps private too.
It is technically correct to make them private, but Meson used to make
StaticLibrary deps public so they are usable without `pkg-config
--static` when we know there is only a static library available.
Fixes: #7929.
This fixes glib-2.0-uninstalled.pc file.
GLib does `extra_cflags : ['-I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include']` because some
of its headers gets installed there. But when used uninstalled that path
makes no sense and pkg-config aborts because ${libdir} is not defined.
This cannot be worked around by GLib because Meson does not allow
setting different `extra_cflags` for -uninstalled.pc, and does not allow
setting libdir in `uninstalled_variables`.
This fixes a regression introduced by
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/7488.
InternalDependency's ext_deps previously where simply ignored, but that
PR has effect to add many more public Requires in generated pc files.
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
[why]
Sometimes one want to set the 'Conflicts:' field in .pc files.
This is possible by using the 'conflicts' keyword argument in the
pkgconfig module. The feature is not documented on mesonbuild.org,
though.
But a warning is issued:
WARNING: Passed invalid keyword argument "conflicts".
WARNING: This will become a hard error in the future.
History:
It has been added along with kwarg 'url' with commit
309041918 pkgconfig: Add missing 'URL' and 'Conflicts' entries
Later the kwargs check has been introduced with
80d665e8d Converted some modules.
but both 'url' and 'conflicts' were missing.
With commit
2acf737b pkgconfig: Document url keyword
the 'url' kwarg has been added to the checks, but not 'conflicts'.
[how]
Add 'conflicts' to the allowed kwargs.

listify shouldn't be unholdering, it's a function to turn scalar values
into lists, or flatten lists. Having a separate function is clearer,
easier to understand, and can be run recursively if necessary.
This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to
the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required.
One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config
files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs.
For example : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/269Fixes#4011
When subdir is '/foo/bar' and prefix '/foo' it was returning '/bar',
which is an absolute path. It was then constructing '-L${prefix}//bar'
with bogus double slash.
When subdir is '/fooo/bar' and prefix '/foo' it was returning 'o/bar'.
FreeBSD uses ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig as default pkgconf search path
for non-base libraries. This commit makes that directory the default
install_dir in the pkgconfig module on FreeBSD.
The main library must come before extra libraries, because they are
likely to be dependencies of the main library that get promoted from
private to public. This was causing static link issues with glib-2.0.pc.
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
The documentation for this change was left out of its implementation in
commit b4aee4675a and was later documented
in commit f831c05b55 as if it had always
existed.
