find_external_dependency() now makes and iterates over a list of callables
which are constructors with bound arguments for the dependency objects we
are going to attempt to make, so we can consolidate reporting on these
attempts and handling failures in that function.
dub dependencies allegedly support method:pkgconfig, but this is meaningless
as it's only ever used when the dub method is explicitly requested.
Possibly cut-and-pasted from elsewhere?
Ninja buffers all commands and prints them only after they are
complete. Because of this, long-running commands such as `cargo
build` show no output at all and it's impossible to know if the
command is merely taking too long or is stuck somewhere.
To cater to such use-cases, Ninja has a 'pool' with depth 1 called
'console', and all processes in this pool have the following
properties:
1. stdout is connected to the program, so output can be seen in
real-time
2. The output of all other commands is buffered and displayed after
a command in this pool finishes running
3. Commands in this pool are executed serially (normal commands
continue to run in the background)
This feature is available since Ninja v1.5

Meson tries to find the interpreter path through the "py" launcher on Windows in all
cases which breaks if meson is run under MSYS2 and an official CPython is installed as well.
MSYS2 Python doesn't install a py launcher which results in meson finding the system one instead
even though python2/python3 is in PATH.
Always check if the interpreter name is in PATH before falling back to checking the py launcher.
Meson already had code to propagate link dependencies from static
libraries to programs that use those static libraries.
Unfortunately, it was not handling the special cases of 'threads' and
'openmp' dependencies.
gtkdoc-scangobj has a --run argument that specifies a wrapper to be used when
executing the GObject scanner. Typically this can be libtool but it is also
useful in cross-compilation environments.
This patch adds support for this argument to the gtkdochelper so that tools
using the helper can pass --run if required.
* get_library_naming: Use templates instead of suffix/prefix pairs
This commit does not change functionality, and merely sets the
groundwork for a more flexibly naming implementation.
* find_library: Fix manual searching on OpenBSD
On OpenBSD, shared libraries are called libfoo.so.X.Y where X is the
major version and Y is the minor version. We were assuming that it's
libfoo.so and not finding shared libraries at all while doing manual
searching, which meant we'd link statically instead.
See: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/specialtopics.html#SharedLibs
Now we use file globbing to do searching, and pick the first one
that's a real file.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3844
* find_library: Fix priority of library search in OpenBSD
Also add unit tests for the library naming function so that it's
absolutely clear what the priority list of naming is.
Testing is done with mocking on Linux to ensure that local testing
is easy
