A hard error makes this feature useless in most cases since a static
library usually won't be found for every library, particularly system
libraries like -lm. Instead, warn so the user can provide the static
library if they wish.
This feature will be expanded and made more extensible and more usable
in the future.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2785
We missed one particular edge-case in #2413: when the generated vala
file is inside --basedir, the path is not just the basename.c
Since this case can never happen in a project test, this includes a unit
test for the same.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/815
Examples:
meson.build:2:0: ERROR: Dependency is both required and not-found
meson.build:4: WARNING: Keyword argument "link_with" defined multiple times.
These are already matched by the default compilation-error-regexp-alist in
emacs.
Also:
Don't start 'red' markup until after the \n before an error
Unabsorb full-stop at end of warning with location from mlog.warning()
Update warning_location test
Currently only not found deps implicitly pulled from a Library object
are ignored. We should also ignore not found deps passed directly to
generate() method.
This makes the unit testing more complicated because libfoo pkgconfig
dependency cannot be found when generated from the within the same
meson.build.
This already reports the location (in a slightly different format), but
using mlog.warning() will make it easier if we want to change the location
format in future.
If a dep is not found on the system and a fallback is specified, we
have two cases:
1. Look for the dependency in a pre-initialized subproject
2. Initialize the subproject and look for the dependency
Both these require version comparing, ensuring the fetched variable
is a dependency, and printing a success message, erroring out, etc.
Now we share the relevant code instead of duplicating it. It already
diverged, so this is a good thing.
As a side-effect, we now log fallback dependencies in the same format
as system dependencies:
Dependency libva found: YES
Dependency libva found: YES (cached)
Dependency glib-2.0 from subproject subprojects/glib found: YES
Dependency glib-2.0 from subproject subprojects/glib found: YES (cached)
I have a tendency to typo things. Humans in general are bad at spotting
spelling mistakes, computers are not. This patches prints the bad
options and provides the generic meson "This will be a hard error
someday" message.
Using NotImplementedError throws an ugly traceback to the user which
does not print the line number and other information making it
impossible to figure out what's causing it.
Also override it for internal dependencies because self.name is "null"
for them.
The .a library was being built with `ar` which is not the right
static archiver, it's supposed to be something like
x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar or whatever the target-triple is.
Try using the built-in static linker detection instead of doing it
manually.
One thing that makes cross compiling with meson a pain is the need for
cross files. The problem is not with cross files themselves (they're
actually rather brilliant in that they allow for a much greater deal of
flexibility than autotools hardcoded paths approach) but that each user
needs to reimplement them themselves, when for most people what they
really want is a cross file that could be provided by their distro, all
they really want is the correct toolchain.
This patch is the first stop to making it easier for distros to ship
their own cross files (and for users to put their's somewhere safe so
they don't get `git clean`ed. It allows the cross files (on Linux and
*BSD) to be stored in home and system paths (~/.config/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, and /usr/local/share/meson/cross), and to be
loaded by simply by specificying --cross-file.
With this patch meson will check the locations its always checked first,
(is cross file absolute, or is it relative to $PWD), then will check
~/.config/meson/cross, /usr/local/share/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, (or $XDG_CONFIG_PATH and $XDG_DATA_DIRS) for the
files, raising an exception if it cannot find the specified cross file.
Fixes#2283
This exposes the already existing UserStringArrayOption class through
the meson_options.txt. The intention is to provide a way for projects to
take list/array type arguments and validate that all of the elements in
that array are valid without using complex looping constructrs.
This is enough to fix things.
Note that build_shared_lib doesn't use the implib name for mingw or cygwin
gcc, only msvc, so I'm not quite sure how this is working, I guess we are
using the gcc facility to link directly with a dll...
