When trying to cross-compile mesa on an aarch64 system, I noticed some
strange behavior. Meson would only ever find the wayland-scanner binary
in my host machine's sysroot (/mnt/amethyst):
Native dependency wayland-scanner found: YES 1.16.0
Program /mnt/amethyst/usr/bin/wayland-scanner found: YES (/mnt/amethyst/usr/bin/wayland-scanner)
It should be finding /usr/bin/wayland-scanner instead, since the
wayland-scanner dependency is created as native. On closer inspection,
it turned out that meson was ignoring the native argument passed to
dependency(), and wuld always use the pkgconfig binary specified in my
toolchain instead of the native one (/usr/bin/pkg-config):
Native dependency wayland-scanner found: YES 1.16.0
Called `/home/lyudess/Projects/panfrost/scripts/amethyst-pkg-config
--variable=wayland_scanner wayland-scanner` -> 0
Turns out that if we create a dependency() object with native:false, we
end up caching the pkg-config path for the host machine in
PkgConfigDependency.class_pkgbin, instead of the build machine's
pkg-config path. This results causing in all pkg-config invocations for
dependency() objects to use the host machine's pkg-config binary,
regardless of whether or not 'native: true' was specified when the
dependency() object was instantiated.
So, fix this by never setting PkgConfigDependency.class_pkgbin for cross
dependency() objects. Also, add some test cases for this. Since
triggering this bug can be avoided by creating a dependency() objects
with native:true before creating any with native:false, we make sure
that our test has two modes: one where it starts with a native
dependency first, and another where it starts with a cross dependency
first.
As a final note here: We currently skip this test on windows, because
windows doesn't support directly executing python scripts as
executables: something that we need in order to point pkgconfig to a
wrapper script that sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR env appropriately before
calling pkg-config.

meson.add_dist_script, introduced in #3906, did not accept any arguments
other than script name. Since all other meson.add_*_script methods
do accept args, this makes the dist script accept them as well.
Correct version_compare_condition_with_min() for the case where no minimum
version is established by the version constraint. Add a simple test.
Also fix test_feature_check_usage_subprojects by escaping regex
metacharacters.
if |condition| is '<', '<=' or '!=', the minimum version satisfying the
condition is 0, so the minimum version for a feature is never met.
if |condition| is '>=' or '==', the minimum version satisfying the condition
is the version compared with, so the minimum version for a feature must be
less than or equal to that.
if |condition| is '>', the minimum version satisfying the condition is
greater than the version compared with, so the minimum version for a feature
must be less than that
(it's this last condition that makes this function necessary, as in all
other cases we could establish a definite minimum version which we could
compare to see if it's less than or equal to the current version)
Fixed manually promoting wrap files with a full path, e.g.
`meson wrap promote subprojects/s1/subprojects/projname.wrap`,
which resulted in an error before (new test added:
`./run_unittests.py AllPlatformTests.test_subproject_promotion_wrap`).
Additionally, running promote with an invalid subproject path now fails
properly. Before, it just silently did nothing (added to test:
`./run_unittests.py AllPlatformTests.test_subproject_promotion`).
We used to immediately try to use whatever exe_wrapper was defined in
the cross file, but some people generate the cross file once and use
it for several projects, most of which do not even need an exe wrapper
to build.
Now we're a bit more resilient. We quietly fall back to using
non-exe-wrapper paths for compiler checks and skip the sanity check.
However, if some code needs the exe wrapper, f.ex., if you run a built
executable using custom_target() or run_target(), we will error out
during setup.
Tests will, of course, continue to error out when you run them if the
exe wrapper was not found. We don't want people's tests to silently
"pass" (aka skip) because of a bad CI setup.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3562
This commit also adds a test for the behaviour of exe_wrapper in these
cases, and refactors the unit tests a bit for it.
We now pass the current subproject to every FeatureNew and
FeatureDeprecated call. This requires a bunch of rework to:
1. Ensure that we have access to the subproject in the list of
arguments when used as a decorator (see _get_callee_args).
2. Pass the subproject to .use() when it's called manually.
3. We also can't do feature checks for new features in
meson_options.txt because that's parsed before we know the
meson_version from project()
This is accepted by all other binaries in the cross file. With this
change, we also don't check whether the specified command exists at
configure time, but that's probably a feature anyway.

* pkgconfig module: Fix needlessly aggressive de-dup
On macOS, we set the install_name for built libraries to
@rpath/libfoo.dylib, and when linking to the library, we set the RPATH
to its path in the build directory. This allows all built binaries to
be run as-is from the build directory (uninstalled).
However, on install, we have to strip all the RPATHs because they
point to the build directory, and we change the install_name of all
built libraries to the absolute path to the library. This causes the
install name in binaries to be out of date.
We now change that install name to point to the absolute path to each
built library after installation.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3038
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3077
With this, the default workflow on macOS matches what everyone seems
to do, including Autotools and CMake. The next step is providing a way
for build files to override the install_name that is used after
installation for use with, f.ex., private libraries when combined with
the install_rpath: kwarg on targets.
When we link to an external library either with find_library() without
any dirs:, or with dependency(), we should be able to run uninstalled
out of the box without having to set any environment variables or other
shenanigans.
This is especially important on macOS because only the system frameworks
directory is in the default runtime path, and all other frameworks and
libraries need to be found with RPATH or absolute path to the dylib.
This simplifies a lot of code, and centralize "key=value" parsing in a
single place.
Unknown command line options becomes an hard error instead of
merely printing warning message. It has been warning it would become an
hard error for a while now. This has exceptions though, any
unknown option starting with "<lang>_" or "b_" are ignored because they
depend on which languages gets added and which compiler gets selected.
Also any option for unknown subproject are ignored because they depend
on which subproject actually gets built.
Also write more command line parsing tests. "19 bad command line
options" is removed because bad cmd line option became hard error and
it's covered with new tests in "30 command line".
This will copy the file to the build directory without trying to read
it or substitute values into it.
Also do this optimization if the configuration_data() object passed to
the `configuration:` kwarg is empty, and print a warning about it.

Libraries that have been linked with link_whole: are internal
implementation details and should never be exposed to the outside
world in either Libs: or Libs.private:
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3509
This test copies a src tree using umask of 002, then runs the build and
install under umask 027. It ensures that the default install_umask of
022 is still applied to all files and directories in the install tree.
This way they override all other arguments. This matches the order of
link arguments too.
Note that this means -I flags will come in afterwards and not override
anything else, but this is correct since that's how toolchain paths
work normally too -- they are searched last.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3089
The linkers currently do not support ninja compatible output of
dependencies used while linking. Try to guess which files will be used
while linking in python code and generate conservative dependencies to
ensure changes in linked libraries are detected.
This generates dependencies on the best match for static and shared
linking, but this should not be a problem, except for spurious
rebuilding when only one of them changes, which should not be a problem.
Also makes sure to ignore any libraries generated inside the build, to
keep the optimisation working where changes in a shared library only
cause relink if the symbols have changed as well.
Previously pkg-config files generated by the pkgconfig modules for static libraries
with dependencies could only be used in a dependencies with `static: true`.
This was caused by the dependencies only appearing in Libs.private even
if they are needed in the default linking mode. But a user of a
dependency should not have to know if the default linking mode is static
or dynamic; A dependency('somelib') call should always pull in all
needed pieces into the build.
Now for meson build static libraries passed via `libraries` to the generate
method automatically promote dependencies to public.
