We don't need dependencies to work correctly to use the output of
configure_file in the dependencies: kwarg.
This allows GNOME Recipes to built without the latest glib git.
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 don't use `dependencies` as a module name since it is commonly used
as a variable name too. Instead, directly import the classes that we use
from that module.
This avoids printing several 'Found:' messages during configure, and
also avoids doing several searches for the same binary. This is already
done by the interpreter for `find_program` calls from build files.
Also move it to the module-wide __init__.py file so it can be used by
other modules as-needed.
Also use it for g-ir-scanner where it was missed in one place, also fix
exception name in the same place.
It is often useful to be able to check if a specific object is of a type
defined in a module. To that end, define all such targets in
modules/__init__.py so that everyone can refer to them without poking
into module-specific code.
Without this, the user has to both compile the resource with
gnome.compile_resources, pass that to the target sources, and also
pass --gresources=/path/to/gres.xml to vala_args in the target.
With this, we will do that automatically.
Everywhere we use this object, we end up iterating over it and comparing
compiler.get_language() with something. Using a dict is the obvious
choice and simplifies a lot of code.
Instead of adding it everywhere manually, create a wrapper called
mesonlib.Popen_safe and use that everywhere that we call an executable
and extract its output.
This will also allow us to tweak it to do more/different things if
needed for some locales and/or systems.
Closes#1079
When generating the .gir file we need g-ir-scanner to link the
introspector binary against the right dependencies, for that
we used to use the --library option but this has a special meaning
and the libs passed in there end up being the ones in the .gir file
itself, which is not what we want.
A new --extra-library option is beeing added in goject-introspection
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774625) to handle our use case
(ie. not using libtool which allows g-ir-scanner to know about those)
and we should make use of it.
Closes#981
This defaults to not exporting resources as that is generally what
you want but that does make this a breaking change. Along with that
if you export your resources you would want to install the header.
The install argument is allowed for CustomTargets, but we use
install_header as the setting now. Also, setting a generic template when
specifying the more specific source or header template shouldn't be
allowed.
Earlier, we were never adding dependencies on other GirTargets that we
need. The dependency would only be added indirectly through other
BuildTargets such as SharedLibrary. Now we add all GirTargets specified
in the `dependencies :` kwarg to the list of dependencies of the
GirTarget that we generate.
Also, we weren't adding include directories for the typelib generation
command recursively. We were only adding it for the GirTargets listed
under the `dependencies :` kwarg to gnome.generate_gir. Now we search
all link targets, find GirTargets, extract the include dir, and use it.
In summation, dependencies were completely broken.
- Use depfile support on recent glib-compile-resources
- Don't pass dep files to header ever
- Pass depends for generated deps
- Avoid duplicate --sourcedir args
- Include correct subdir of generated deps
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,
...)
