It is sometimes important to be able to build projects offline, in that
case subproject tarballs and patches could be shipped directly within
the project's repository.
meson.add_dist_script, introduced in #3906, did not accept any arguments
other than script name. Since all other meson.add_*_script methods
do accept args, this makes the dist script accept them as well.
Autotools will add endianess to the name of the architecture in some
cases (such as ppc64le vs ppc64) meson doesn't do this. It's worth
noting this in the documentation.
gtk-doc for autotools has the concept of module version, that is used to define
the module install path and the devhelp2 basename.
Add a `module_version` parameter to gnome.gtkdoc to replicate the same behavior.
Updated the test checking that the install_dir is properly computed (if not
passed), and that the .devhelp2 file has proper name.

Thanks to PR #3483, set_variable can be used to assign array values.
However, the fact that it cannot be used for arrays before 0.46.1 needs
a mention in the documentation, since otherwise users can get unexpected
dependencies on later meson versions.
The "if" statement only covers a small set of the possible ways in
which conditionals can be written, since it leaves the use of
"and", "or" and "not" to the "Logical Operations" section. However,
this is likely to be of interest to those reading about "if" statments,
so move the "logical operations" section up to immediately follow it.
This change also puts in the use of the "!=" operator in the example
to widen the variety of combinations shown.
gtkdoc-scangobj also accepts compiler arguments. In the same way
that include_directories includes directories, the new c_args
parameter also appends compiler arguments.
Almost every keyword documented here takes this form:
- `foo` bar
with no comma after the keyword. Make `filebase` consistent, and fix a
comma splice.
Fix 'Arbitraty' typo in `libraries` documentation.
On Deban, and assuming now on Ubuntu as well, pip3 is only available after installing the python3-pip package. For that case explicitly specified the package during the system installation.
Always honour any windres setting in cross-file (we can't be compiling with
msvc, but this should apply when cross-compiling using gcc or clang)
Always honour WINDRES environment variable
Otherwise look for the resource compiler which is part of the same toolset
as the C or C++ compiler.
Add some commentary on why the conventions for compiled resource file
extensions differ between RC and windres
Also don't try to report non-existent path when we couldn't find the
resource compiler.
It's fairly common on Linux and *BSD platforms to check for these
attributes existence, so it makes sense to me to have this checking
build into meson itself. Autotools also has a builtin for handling
these, and by building them in we can short circuit cases that we know
that these don't exist (MSVC).
Additionally this adds support for two common MSVC __declspec
attributes, dllimport and dllexport. This implements the declspec
version (even though GCC has an __attribute__ version that both it and
clang support), since GCC and Clang support the MSVC version as well.
Thus it seems reasonable to assume that most projects will use the
__declspec version over teh __attribute__ version.
This makes any warning message printed by meson raise an exception,
intended to be used by CI and developpers to easily catch deprecation
warnings and other potential issues.
With this it is now possible to do
foobar = executable('foobar', ...)
meson.override_find_program('foobar', foobar)
Which is convenient for a project like protobuf which produces both a
dependency and a tool. If protobuf is updated to use
override_find_program, it can be used as
protobuf_dep = dependency('protobuf', version : '>=3.3.1',
fallback : ['protobuf', 'protobuf_dep'])
protoc_prog = find_program('protoc')
