If building in a prefix with a version of the library that's already
installed with other dependencies already installed in that prefix,
then the installed library was being picked up to link with
for gir generation instead of the newly built library.
Not all headers are public, or contain public types. GTK-Doc allows
adding headers to be ignored during the "scan" phase, by passing the
`--ignore-headers` command line argument to gtkdoc-scan.
Currently, you can do something like:
ignored_headers = [ 'foo-private.h', 'bar-private.h', ]
gnome.gtkdoc(...
scan_args: [
'--ignore-headers=' + ' '.join(ignored_headers),
],
...)
But it does not guarantee escaping rules and it's definitely not nice.
We can add a simpler version of that mechanism through a new positional
argument, `ignore_headers`, which behaves like `content_files` or
`html_assets`, and takes an array of header files to ignore:
gnome.gtkdoc(...
ignore_headers: ignored_headers,
...)
For each project this creates a <project>-update-po target.
When ran this updates the pot file and then merges it back
into the po files in the source directory with `msgmerge`
for project maintainers and translators.
Fixes#819
This commit adds a 'dependencies' keyword to the
gnome.compile_resources() function, which allows your resource blob
to depend on files generated at build-time from custom_target() or
configure_file() targets.
My current use case for this is source data that gets processed with Gettext
translation tools before being compiled into the resource blob.
This feature only works with GLib version 2.48.2 and above. So the
compile_resources() function now detects GLib version and raises an
error if the version of GLib being used is too old.
The compile_resources() test case is now split into two, so that the
existing one can continue to run on systems with old GLib versions (such
as Ubuntu Xenial, which the automated tests on travisci.org use), but
where new enough GLib is available we also test generating gresource
content.
The existing warning about glib-compile-resources is now only printed
if GLib version is older than 2.50.0 because
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745754> is fixed in the
2.50.0 release.
Sometimes people want the library to start with 'lib' everywhere, which
is achieved by setting name_prefix to '' and the target name to
'libfoo'. In that case, try to get the pkg-config '-lfoo' arg right.
Also, don't warn about anything on Windows

Allowing the object tree to be generated.
We need to add options to allow copying the ncesseary sources and
assets so the HTML generator can work with them (everything is
relative so we need to copy them in the build directory).
Until now the documentation was not generated from the user provided
main sgml file but it was using a generated one, which lead to a broken
documentation. Starting using it revealed the other bugs fixed in that
commit.
These paths are now generated similar to
NinjaBackend.generate_single_compile where IncludeDirs create includes
of both the build directory path and the source directory path.
This also fixes a bug with include_directories, where the path string
supplied to the IncludeDirs initializer was used for the search path,
instead of the actual location to which it referred. Often, this was a
'.', and not a really useful path.
the pkgconfig module automatically specified to install the
pkgconfig file to {libdir}/pkgconfig. Default settings in meson
already include multiarch-directories like x86_64-gnu-linux into
the libdir. pkgconfig usually does not check inside multiarch-dirs
for any pkgconfig-files.
to make this a bit more flexible, this commit introduces the
install_dir attribute for pkgconfig.generate. if it is set, the
default install path will be overridden by the users input
