mesonconf prints build dir information in the order of
'Option' 'Description' 'Current Value' and, optionally, 'Possible Value'.
The Description tends to be longer and push the following values far
right, sometimes way far than fits in the full screen size of a
terminal on a FullHD monitor.
Experienced users know which options they want to change without
looking at the description string however they need to check the
current values for sure.
This patch moves the description to the last column. Now mesonconf
prints options in the following order:
'Option' 'Current Value' 'Possible Value' 'Description'
To implement this, mainly print_aligned() is modified. The second
argument of the function is changed from
- array of array of string to
- array of dict with 'name', 'descr', 'value', and 'choices,
which maps to 'option', 'description', 'current value' and 'possible
values', respectively.
Since the position of the possible values are moved before its
description, the presence and the length of it affects header as well
as the following description. Thus, we cal curate it before printing
the header.
To avoid re-calculation, we keep string version of the values and
flattened version of the possible values _in the given array_, which
means that now the print_aligned() function modify the the given
array. The current callers do not use the passing array. So there
should be no bad effects.
Use the compiler object to find the gmock library. Fixes following
cases:
- cross compiling looked in host library paths
- static libgmock was not supported

Use the compiler object to find gtest libraries. Fixes following

Note that gui_app: is currently ignored when using the ninja backend with VS
compilers, so I guess you get the default linker behaviour, which the
documentation says is guessing the subsystem depending on if a main or
WinMain symbol exists...
Module definition files may be useful when building with gcc on Windows also
(e.g. if the existing build uses them, if exports are aliased, if we were
retro enough to export by ordinal, etc.)
Add the .def file to the link command line when using gcc on Windows
Run the appropriate windows tests irrespective of compiler.
Appveyor takes a *long* time to run (~45 minutes per commit currently),
and it does no parallelism. It is possible to skip merge requests that
only touch documentation, this commit adds that support.
Because Appveyor (and Travis) test a merge of the pull request into
master and not the branch itself this will only skip builds that only
touch docs, and not pull requests that do both doc and non-doc changes.
Currently if flatten() is passed a non-list object, it returns that
object. This is surprising behavior, and prone to causing serious and
numerous problems, since many objects implement the iterable interface,
and thus can be used in cases a list is expected, but with undesirable
results.
Usage:
pkgconfig.generate(
...
description : 'A library with custom variables.',
variables : ['foo=bar', 'datadir=${prefix}/data']
)
The variables 'prefix', 'libdir' and 'includedir' are reserved, meson will
fail with an error message.
Variables can reference each other with the pkgconfig notation, e.g.
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data',
'otherdatadir=${datadir}/other']
meson does not check this for correctness or that the referenced variable
exists, we merely keep the same order as specified.
Although not stricly necessary, it is good to mention $DESTDIR in the
explanation for add_install_script, since it might not be obvious for the
user that it is available.
Also add punctuation to be consistent.
v2:
- fix "witht" typo
- reword $DESTDIR description to say that it is inherited from the environment
- also describe $MESONINTROSPECT
