It is a usual workflow to fix something and retest to see if it is fixed using a
particular test. When tests start to become numerous, it becomes time consuming
for "meson test" to relink all of them (and in fact rebuild the whole project)
where the user has already specified the tests they want to run, as well as
the tests' dependencies.
Teach meson to be smart and only build what is needed for the test (or suite)
that were specified.

Previously the destdir was ignored completely when using elevated
privileges to install files as pkexec stripped the DESTDIR environment
variable.
As the destdir is not supposed to require any special privileges
anyways, just re-raise the error.
This catches some very real errors.
The one in scalapack is pretty silly actually, it's failing to figure
out that the exploded list is at least two arguments. However, the code
is actually clearer by not using a list and exploding it, so I've done
that and pylint is happy too.
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.

This is a significant speed-up on Windows because terminals are
slow to print things out.
Speed-up in gst-build on Windows:
```
meson install:
before: 5.1 seconds
after: 4.0 seconds
```
In `--only-changed` mode, we were spending half our time inside
`makedirs()`, which is a waste in the case when only a few files have
changed.
Speed-up on Windows with gst-build:
```
meson install --only-changed
before: 1.6 seconds
after: 0.9 seconds
```
If we preserve the existing file, we did not install anything. In that
case, the output now looks like:
```
ninja: Entering directory `.'
ninja: no work to do.
Nothing to install.
Preserved 1732 unchanged files, see meson-logs\install-log.txt for the full list
```
This also avoids an `isfile` lookup, which shaves off a few seconds in
gst-build install.
When `--only-changed` is passed, we only want to know about files that
were newly-installed. Everything else is noise. The full list can
always be found in `install-log.txt` anyway. Sample output:
```
ninja: Entering directory `.'
ninja: no work to do.
Preserved 667 unchanged files, see meson-logs\install-log.txt for the full list
```
Remove the code responsible for implicitly compressing manpages as .gz
files. It has been established that manpage compression is a distro
packager's task, with existing distros already having their own
implementations of compression.
Fixes#4330
This has the adventage that "meson --help" shows a list of all commands,
making them discoverable. This also reduce the manual parsing of
arguments to the strict minimum needed for backward compatibility.
Since we're supposed to call this for each installed path, we only should go
through what we've installed and not what this point to, as it might be
outside our scope or not existent.
To do this, since shutil.chown doesn't expose the follow_symlink that os.chown
has, we can temporarily replace os.chown with a lambda that acutually passes
all the values as we want them, and then restore it to the built-in functions.
Not the nicest way, but fixes the issue without having to reimplement what
shutil does.
Fixes#3914
It's only supported by few platforms when the linked file exists, while it
would cause an error otherwise.
In any case just implement this via an helper set_chmod function that will
handle the case where follow_symlinks is not supported by the platform
and will just not set any mod for the link itself (as it would otherwise
apply to the linked file).
Fixes#3914
Shared modules may be resource-only DLLs, or might automatically
self-initialize using C constructors or WinMain at DLL load time.
When an import library is not found for a shared module, just print
a message about it instead of erroring out.
Fixes#3965
This was added accidentally. Includes a test for it.
Also fix a rebase error. The variable was defined incorrectly and was
overwritten with the correct value immediately afterwards.
On macOS, we set the install_name for built libraries to
@rpath/libfoo.dylib, and when linking to the library, we set the RPATH
to its path in the build directory. This allows all built binaries to
be run as-is from the build directory (uninstalled).
However, on install, we have to strip all the RPATHs because they
point to the build directory, and we change the install_name of all
built libraries to the absolute path to the library. This causes the
install name in binaries to be out of date.
We now change that install name to point to the absolute path to each
built library after installation.

With this, the default workflow on macOS matches what everyone seems
to do, including Autotools and CMake. The next step is providing a way
for build files to override the install_name that is used after
installation for use with, f.ex., private libraries when combined with
the install_rpath: kwarg on targets.
The install name is used by consumers of the library to find the
library at runtime. If it's @rpath/libfoo.dylib, all consumers must
manually add the library path to RPATH, which is not what people
expect.
Almost everyone sets the library install name as the full path to the
library, and this is done at install time with install_name_tool.
This makes it possible to customize permissions of all installable
targets, such as executable(), libraries, man pages, header files and
custom or generated targets.
This is useful, for instance, to install setuid/setgid binaries, which
was hard to accomplish without access to this attribute.
