Fix "Tried to grab file outside current (sub)project" error when subproject exists within
a source tree but it is used through a symlink. Using subprojects as symlinks is very useful
feature when migrating an existing codebase to meson that all sources do not need to be
immediately moved to subprojects folder.
Move GlobalState to a runtime T.NamedTuple, use it for constructing the
tuple we are passing around rather than expecting mypy to detect that
the one we already have matches.
For maintainer targets, we need some more tools that gettext-tiny
doesn't implement. It's a shame to cause NLS to be completely disabled
in such environments, so instead just issue a warning and continue.
Before 0.62.0 these were never checked for, and would simply fail at
runtime, probably. In theory, the user might install the tools in
between configuring and building, and then the maintainer targets would
begin to work. Return to that behavior -- we still create the targets,
which will *probably* fail, but might not -- and for existing
integrations, failing at `ninja foo-update-po` with "error, program
msgmerge not found" is a bit more discoverable than ninja saying "what
do you mean, there's no such target".
We still have the 0.62.0 preferred behavior of trying to find the
programs, succeeding in all cases other than gettext-tiny, and
guaranteeing that their paths are set up in a machine-file-respecting
manner.
In the former case, the presence of tools is optional, but triggers a
warning and then no-ops the target. In the latter case, the presence of
the tools is mandatory. But if it was already looked up and discovered
to be missing, we did not actually check that it is found before trying
to use it.
In the case that it isn't found, check again, so that we explicitly
error out with a relevant error message due to setting the required
flag.
Fixes#10320
We accept boolean false to indicate "do not install this one particular
output", but the type checking simply checked if it is a bool. We do
this correctly for configure_file, so copy the same validator from
there.
This fixes bogus messages "skipped: feature foo disabled" when
auto_features=disabled. It was reporting the name of the latest
get_option() call instead of the name of the current feature option.
This is especially visible in GStreamer summary where it should show a
different option name for every subproject but instead shows "tools"
everywhere:
```
Subprojects
gst-devtools : NO Feature 'tools' disabled
gst-editing-services : NO Feature 'tools' disabled
...
```
We were poking directly at the node, so if it was a FunctionNode then
this broke. Instead, just do a reverse lookup in the overrides table to
get the original find_program name.
In commit 6acfe48f32, the kwarg was added
to environment() in addition to the env object methods. As part of the
associated refactor, a shared KwargInfo was used, and evolved to be new
since 0.62.0 in the two cases where it is in fact new.
However, it *also* set the base KwargInfo for the exact same newness,
which is wrong as it was present ever since the initial introduction in
0.34.0
As usual for anything that predates 0.37.0 we simply don't tag
FeatureNew. Revert this back to the same KwargInfo definition from
before the refactoring commit.
Fixes#10402
This was added in commit 01be50fdd9 with
zero explanation as a side effect of moving code around. It seems like a
really bad idea and it causes people to view debugging Meson projects on
e.g. debuginfod systems as "painful".
In commit fb2cdd0fe2 the internal property
was renamed, but one use case of it in raising a MesonException was not
changed to go with it.
This meant that instead of erroring out with:
```
ERROR: GNU symbol visibility arg XXXX not one of: default, internal, hidden, protected, inlineshidden
```
we instead errored out with:
```
AttributeError: 'SharedLibrary' object has no attribute 'symbol_visibility'
```
Fixes#9659
Nothing elaborate, just laying down the ground rules for expected usage
and pointing out that it now works. The idea is not to give people
ideas, but to let projects which already have this use case, use it with
confidence.
This allows tracking which subproject it came from at the time of
definition, rather than the time of use. As a result, it is no longer
possible for one subproject which knows that another subproject installs
some data files, to expose those data files via its own
declare_dependency.
There are somewhat common, reasonable and legitimate use cases for a
dependency to provide data files installed to /usr which are used as
command inputs. When getting a dependency from a subproject, however,
the attempt to directly construct an input file from a subproject
results in a sandbox violation. This means not all dependencies can be
wrapped as a subproject.
One example is wayland-protocols XML files which get scanned and used to
produce C source files.
Teach Meson to recognize when a string path is the result of fetching a
dep.get_variable(), and special case this to be exempt from subproject
violations.
A requirement of this is that the file must be installed by
install_data() or install_subdir() because otherwise it is not actually
representative of what a pkg-config dependency would provide.
dep.get_variable() only supports string values for pkg-config and
config-tool, because those interfaces use text communication, and
internal variables (from declare_dependency) operate the same way.
CMake had an oddity, where get_variable doesn't document that it allows
list values but apparently it miiiiiight work? Actually getting that
kind of result would be dangerously inconsistent though. Also, CMake
does not support lists so it's a lie. Strings that are *treated* as
lists with `;` splitting don't count...
We could do two things here:
- raise an error
- treat it as a string and return a string
It's not clear what the use case of get_variable() on a maybe-list is,
and should probably be a hard error. But that's controversial, so
instead we just return the original `;`-delimited string. It is probably
the wrong thing, but users are welcome to cope with that somehow on
their own.
Regression in commit 11f9638035. When
`install: true` the install_dir must be set. The CustomTarget
initializer no longer checks this for us, so we must include the check
ourselves.
Regression in commit 11f9638035. We expect
exactly one string as an install_dir, but CustomTarget started expecting
it to be a list. So we need to pass it as such when forwarding
compile_translations() arguments to the CustomTarget initializer.
The compiler flag only exists on Visual Studio 2015 or later, or clang-cl,
and using this always can interfere with compiler feature detection when
this flag is not supported.
So, remove '/utf-8' from always_args if we are on Visual Studio 2013 or
earlier.
This way, we can ensure that gtk-doc parses the --path argument
correctly when passed in from the cmd.exe console, since ':' is normally
used to denote that a drive is being used on local paths.
We expose a reason after the string 'MESON_SKIP_TEST', but it is
actually ignored when running the test, so it is only useful as
documentation and really might as well be a comment.
Make it even more useful by actually printing that string after the
'[SKIPPED]' message.
Also, sometimes a test can be skipped for multiple reasons, and it would
be useful to know which one occurred.
In case a link is pointing_to an absolute path and we are using $DESTDIR
we fail in case the target is missing.
This is incorrect because we may need to use an absolute path to an
already installed file that is in $DESTDIR.
So if an absolute target is not existing, check if we have such file in
$DESTDIR before failing for real.
This has been broken ever since the original implementation. Due to a
typo, the optimization flag used a zero instead of an uppercase "o",
which the compiler then breaks on during argument parsing because it is
an invalid argument.
Fixes#10267
In print_options() k was a string instead of OptionKey, but
self.yielding_options expects OptionKey. Not sure how this has not been
catched by mypy.
Fix by keeping k as OptionKey which makes self.yielding_options useless.
Fixes: #9503
Although Qt6 has decided these are "internal" commands and should never
be run directly, so they don't get symlinked to /usr/bin at all, and are
only available in the qt_dep.bindir anyway.
But, the general naming pattern should be followed on principle.
