This is useful when build_machine appears to be compatible with
host_machine, but actually isn't. For example when:
- build_machine is macOS and host_machine is the iOS Simulator
- the build_machine's libc is glibc but the host_machine libc is uClibc
- code relies on kernel features not available on the build_machine
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.
This adds a depdendncy wrapper for llvm-config based on the wxwidgets
dependency. IT handles libs, version, include dir, and the llvm unique
concept of components. These components are individual pieces of the
LLVM library that may or may not be available depending on the platform.
