At installation, if the executable is a ELF file, we try to fix the
dependencies in the binary section.
If a executable has been compiled with the --static flag, there is
no .dynamic section in the ELF binary and so we need to handle this case.
Knowing whether a test failed to run as its prerequisites were not
available, or whether those prerequisites were available and produced
unexpected/incorrect results, is a useful differentiation.
Add support for skipped tests by testing for exit code 77, used through
autotools/piglit/etc to denote a test which detected this and decided to
skip.
installation.
During a `python3.4 setup.py install`, the yelphelper.py script errors
out with: "SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment
target". Fix this problem.
* contributing: Use should instead of thould
* interpreter: Use exist_ok parameter in subdir function
We explicitly depend on python 3.4 or newer, which means the exist_ok
parameter is available. Use it instead of a try with a pass on except.
* authors: Add my name at the end of authors file
* add support for wrap of mercurial repo, and a test with a clone of the sample subproject used for the git test into a mercuriel repo.
* Added myself to author list, and switched the URL of the sample subproject in the wrap file to one under the control of the project's maintainers.
If a fallback dependency is not found just return None. The
caller can then raise the exception it already has if
required=True, or just continue on if required=False.
When installing Meson, distutils may choose to put shim scripts in the
`PATH` that only set up the egg requirements before launching the real
`meson.py` contained in the egg.
This means that `__file__` points to the real `meson.py` file, but
launching it directly is doomed to fail as it's missing the metadata
contained in the shim to set up the path egg, resulting in errors when
trying to import the `mesonbuild` module.
A similar issue affects Meson when installed as a zipapp, with the
current code going great lengths to figure out how to relaunch itself.
Using `argv[0]` avoids these issues as it gives us the way the current
executable has been launched, so we are pretty much guaranteed that
using it will create another instance of the same executable. We only
need to resolve relative paths as the current working directory may
get changed before re-launching the script, and using `realpath()` for
that saves us the trouble of manually resolving links and getting caught
in endless loops.
This also mean that `meson_script_file` no longer necessarily point to a
absolute file, so rename it to `_launcher` which hopefully would be less
prone to inducing false assumptions.
the pkgconfig module automatically specified to install the
pkgconfig file to {libdir}/pkgconfig. Default settings in meson
already include multiarch-directories like x86_64-gnu-linux into
the libdir. pkgconfig usually does not check inside multiarch-dirs
for any pkgconfig-files.
to make this a bit more flexible, this commit introduces the
install_dir attribute for pkgconfig.generate. if it is set, the
default install path will be overridden by the users input
This makes the following changes:
* Explicitly closes the file for force flushing (this fixes an issue on which the last 2 or 3 lines weren't being written to disk)
* Adds another check on the PBXBuildFile stage to get the file name if the returned source type is a File instead of a string
Fixes issue #337
When building against software that is being built uninstalled,
pkg-config returns values from the -uninstalled.pc variant which
might contain .la files as --libs.
This patch opens the .la files to figure out where the actual shared
library are.
Some part of this is inspired by what is done in the
gobject-introspection giscanner/utils.py code
