There is no way for us to know that 'source.c' is a file in the source
tree if it's a string. It needs to be a file object.
This used to work earlier because we used to incorrectly run the
configure_file() command in the source dir (!) instead of the build
dir. This had nasty side-effects such as creating files in the source
tree unless you specified an absolute path...
We can't support generated XML files with custom_target() because the
dependency scanning happens at configure time, but we *can* support
generating them with configure_file().
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1380
The same substitutions and rules as custom_target().
Also generally fix it to actually work when run in a subdir and with
anything other than absolute paths for input and output files.
We now also log a message when configuring files.
Includes tests for all this.
This means replacing @PLAINNAME@ and @BASENAME@ in the outputs. This is
the same feature as generator().
This is only allowed when there is only one input file for obvious
reasons + failing test for this.
Factor it out into a function in mesonlib.py. This will allow us to
reuse it for generators and for configure_file(). The latter doesn't
implement this at all right now.
Also includes unit tests.
This is useful enough that we can enable this for everyone. If people
really don't want this, they can pass MALLOC_PERTURB_=0 in the
environment or in the test.
We don't need dependencies to work correctly to use the output of
configure_file in the dependencies: kwarg.
This allows GNOME Recipes to built without the latest glib git.
Ever since we changed how we do library searching, the full path to the
library has not been available under `.fullpath`. This has been broken
for at least a year...
And actually test that prog.path() works. The earlier test was just
running the command without checking if it succeeded.
Also make everything use prog.get_command() or get_path() instead of
accessing the internal member prog.fullpath directly.
We also need to check whether the program found in PATH can be executed
directly by Windows or if we need to figure out what the interpreter is
and add it to the list.
Also add `msc` to the list of extensions that can be executed natively
Includes a project test and a unit test for this and all expected
behaviours on Windows.
Without this, we can output a mixture of '/' and '\' on platforms where
os.path.sep is '\' and prefix or outdir uses '/'. Let's always return
the path in the format of the platform we're running on.
This is needed to make the test_install_introspection() unittest work
properly on Windows.
On macOS, the temporary directory is inside /var/folders, but /var is
a symlink to /private/var, and for some reason that messes up path
traversal when you're inside the temporary directory and the source
directory is never found, and ninja runs in a loop trying to
regenerate files that can never be regenerated.
Otherwise if the list of sources changes on reconfigure after building,
the static library will contain both the old and new objects.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1355
Without this, files() in the arguments give an error because it's a list
of mesonlib.File objects:
Array as argument 1 contains a non-string.
It also breaks in nested lists. Includes a test for this.
