They are supposed to have different behavior. The environment variables
apply to both the compiler and linker when the compiler acts as a
linker, but the command line ones do not.
Fixes#8345
1. use `locale.getpreferredencoding()` to get encoding name.
`bytes.decode()` assumes `encoding='utf-8'` by default. It is incorrect on my
Windows setup, and causes `UnicodeDecodeError`.
2. use `errors='replace'`.
`bytes.decode()` assumes `errors='strict'` by default. Meson shouldn't crash
if subprocess outputs some garbage that can't be decoded.
`surrogateescape` doesn't work as expected on Windows. On Linux, default
`errors` for `sys.stdout` is `strict`, so `surrogateescape` can't be used there
too (at least until `sys.stdout` is reconfigured).

When using --reset we should guarantee that next reconfigure will pick
the latest code. For wrap-file we have no way to know if the revision
changed, so we have to delete the source tree and extract again.
It is unlikely that user has local changes in non-git subprojects, and
--reset is known to be dangerous.
Replace `meson compile scan-build` with `ninja -C dir scan-build`,
because scan-build target does not work with `meson compile`.
Note about SCANBUILD env variable was not precise enough to describe how
to pass arguments to scan-build - provide an example to make it clear.
Fixes: #7644.
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.
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.
