os.path.commonpath (and our implementation of it) both always return the
path using the native operating system path separator, so we can't just
directly compare it since the prefix could be specified in '/', and
commonpath would use '\' on Windows.
Also add a unit test for this.
os.path.commonpath was added in Python 3.5, so just write our own for
now. pathlib was added in Python 3.4, so this should be ok. We need to
use that instead of doing str.split() etc because Windows path handling
has a lot of exceptions and pathlib handles all that for us.
Also adds a unit test for this.
At the same time, also fix the order in which compile arguments are
added. Detailed comments have been added concerning the priority and
order of the arguments.
Also adds a unit test and an integration test for the same.
With the exception of things like sysconfdir (/etc), every other
installation directory option must be inside the prefix.
Also move the prefix checks to coredata.py since prefix can also be set
from inside project() with default_options and via mesonconf. Earlier
you could set prefix to a relative path that way.
This also allows us to return consistent values for get_option('xxxdir')
regardless of whether relative paths are passed or absolute paths are
passed while setting options on the command-line, via mesonconf, or via
default_options in project(). Now the returned path will *always* be
relative to the prefix.
Includes a unit test for this, and a failing test.
Closes#1299
In Fedora we don't care about prefix, we want to ensure that libdir
is /usr/lib64, localedir is /usr/share/locale, and cetera.
Additionally, we don't need to ensure that prefix is absolute as we
check it in main.
Fixes: cc19bf0f45 ("Move option validation in objects rather than doing it only in the conf script.")
