On Windows this would fail because of missing DLL:
```
mylib = library(...)
exe = executable(..., link_with: mylib)
meson.add_install_script(exe)
```
The reason is on Windows we cannot rely on rpath to find libraries from
build directory, they are searched in $PATH. We already have all that
mechanism in place for custom_target() using ExecutableSerialisation
class, so reuse it for install/dist/postconf scripts too.
This has bonus side effect to also use exe_wrapper for those scripts.
Fixes: #8187
Split out tests (and parts of tests) which require a native compiler
from the 'common' suite to a new suite called 'native', so we can
selectively avoid running those tests when only a cross-compiler is
available.
Also move test '211 cmake module' to 'cmake' suite, since it appears
that the way we use cmake requires a native compiler.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
This adds support for Files, CustomTarget, Indexs of CustomTargets,
ConfigureFiles, ExternalPrograms, and Executables.
Fixes: #1234Fixes: #3552Fixes: #6175
Cache the absolute dir that the script is searched in and the name of
the script. These are the only two things that change.
Update the test to test for both #1235 and the case when a script of the
same name is in a different directory (which also covers the subproject
case).
Closes#1235
Also add new tests for the platform-specific and compiler-specific
versioning scheme.
A rough summary is:
1. A bug in how run_tests.py:validate_install checked for files has been
fixed. Earlier it wasn't checking the install directory properly.
2. Shared libraries are no longer installed in common tests, and the
library name/path testing is now done in platform-specific tests.
3. Executables are now always called something?exe in the
installed_files.txt file, and the suffix automatically corrected
depending on the platform.
4. If a test installs a file called 'no-installed-files', the installed
files for that test are not validated. This is required to implement
compiler-specific tests for library names/paths such as MSVC vs MinGW
5. The platform-specific file renaming in run_tests.py has been mostly
removed since it is broken for shared libraries and isn't needed for
static libraries.
6. run_tests.py now reports all missing and extra files. The logic for
finding these has been reworked.
