Checking how to aquire the *gettext family of symbols portably is
annoyingly complex, and may come from the libc, or standalone.
builtin dependency:
This detects if libintl is unneeded, because the *gettext family of
symbols is available in the libc.
system dependency:
This detects if libintl is installed as separate software, linkable via
-lintl; unfortunately, GNU gettext does not ship pkg-config files for
it.
Fixes#3929
Currently if the version returned is not a supported version, then you
get a lovely stack trace. This is not nice. This can be triggered easily
by adding gcc's `-fdirectives-only` flag, which stops the preprocessor
from doing certain macro expansions, including those used to detect
OpenMP.
Fixes#8652
with msys ncurses-config returns a unix style path (currently, though
it's been fixed upstream), which the compilers don't understand, so we
can't do that. Additionally, while the system search does work, there's
missing include directories that need to be added.
On win32 there is pdcurses, so we detect it first, because python
depends on ncursesw, so if we don't want to use ncursesw, we should make
sure pdcurses detect before ncursesw
The linker that comes with MSVC does not understand the /openmp flag.
This results in a string of
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/openmp'; ignored
warnings, one for each static_library linked with an executable.
Avoid this by only setting the linker openmp flag when the compiler is
not MSVC.
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
Currently PkgConfig takes language as a keyword parameter in position 3,
while the others take it as positional in position 2. Because most
dependencies don't actually set a language (they use C style linking),
using a positional argument makes more sense. ExtraFrameworkDependencies
is even more different, and duplicates some arguments from the base
ExternalDependency class.
For later changes I'm planning to make having all of the dependencies
use the same signature is really, really helpful.
fixes#6096.
Didn't use CMake because Curses is a real corner-case for CMake that
would require Curses-specific enhancements to Meson's CMake interface.
cmake: get language from Meson project if not specified as depedency(..., langugage: ...)
deps: add threads method:cmake
dependency('threads', method: 'cmake') is useful for cmake unit tests
or those who just want to find threads using cmake.
cmake: project(... Fortran) generally also requires C language
This addresses various real-world problems with HDF5 pkg-config, including
* hdf*.pc with package versions as part of the filename
* malformed hdf*.pc missing the commonly-used HDF5 HL module
---
Additionally, this refactors more complicated dependencies such as
HDF5 and OpenMPI. This may help us deduplicate internal dependency
code in the future.
HDF5 selftest: improve platform-agnostic test
ci: init demo github action for HDF5 framework
ci Actions: hold off on MSYS2 for now [skip ci]
hdf5: ensure C libraries always included
ci: mac hdf5--use clang+gfortran
