When subdir is '/foo/bar' and prefix '/foo' it was returning '/bar',
which is an absolute path. It was then constructing '-L${prefix}//bar'
with bogus double slash.
When subdir is '/fooo/bar' and prefix '/foo' it was returning 'o/bar'.
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.
declare_dependencies
This allows dependencies declared in subprojects to set variables, and
for those variables to be accessed via the get_variable method, just
like those from pkg-config and cmake. This makes it easier to use
projects from subprojects in a polymorphic manner, lowering the
distinction between a subproject and an external dependency every
further.
is_samepath better reflects the nature of this function--that files
and directories can be compared.
Also, instead of raising exceptions, simply return False when one
or both .is_samepath(path1, path1) don't exist. This is more
intuitive behavior and avoids having an extra if fs.exist() to go
with every fs.is_samepath()
When lrelease-qtN is missing, upgrade the error message from the
cryptic:
meson.build:75:4: ERROR: Tried to use not-found external program in "command"
to the meaningful:
meson.build:75:4: ERROR: qt.compile_translations: lrelease-qt5 not found
Issue found and tested with "test cases/frameworks/4 qt/"
FreeBSD uses ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig as default pkgconf search path
for non-base libraries. This commit makes that directory the default
install_dir in the pkgconfig module on FreeBSD.
The main library must come before extra libraries, because they are
likely to be dependencies of the main library that get promoted from
private to public. This was causing static link issues with glib-2.0.pc.
If the Python binary that we find doesn't return valid JSON when asked to run a
small script, show the command being ran and stdout/stderr in meson-log.txt.
Fixes: #5914
When g-ir-scanner is overriden, we can't call it at configure time
but we know what options are avalaible (as it started using meson
after checked options where added) so do not try to call it to retrieve
the version as it will fail.

GLib does not currently use override_find_program() for this tool
because it is compiled and would not work in cross build. But this
prepares Meson for when/if GLib will rewrite it in Python.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1859.
'if_true' sources should be built with their dependencies, as
illustrated by test case change.
Ideally, I think we would want only the files with the dependencies to
be built with the flags, but that would probably change the way
sourceset are used.
This will allow using gtk-doc as a subproject instead of having to
install it on the system. It also has the side effect of failing at
configuration time with a proper message if gtkdoc is not installed,
instead of failing at build time with a python backtrace.
