This avoid printing long backtrace by default, the user already has the
output of the git command printed for debugging purpose since we don't
redirect stdout/stderr.
This header erroneously referred to the dynamic linker while the paragraph talks about
the "link editor." Change the title to account for the difference.
Add depfile support to generated targets for Qt >= 5.14.
Move warning into the module init itself, to check if the version is too
old before issuing. Also tweak the wording itself, to advise upgrading
to a suitable version of Qt5 instead of advising to wait for a Qt bug to
be fixed.
I made the mistake of always selecting the debug CRT for compiler
checks on Windows 4 years ago:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/543https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/614
The idea was to always build the tests with debugging enabled so that
the compiler doesn't optimize the tests away. But we stopped doing
that a while ago, and also the debug CRT has no relation to that.
We should select the CRT in the same way that we do for building
targets: based on the options.
On Windows ARM64, the debug CRT for ARM64 isn't always available, and
the release CRT is available only after installing the runtime
package. Without this, we will always try to pick the debug CRT even
when --buildtype=debugoptimized or release.
Some warnings are out of the user's control, such as the RCC QT bug,
or the GNU windres bug, or our informational warning about
auto-disabling of options when -Db_bitcode is enabled.
Such warnings should not be fatal when --fatal-meson-warnings is
passed because there's no action that the user can take to fix it. The
only purpose it serves is to prevent people who use those features
from using --fatal-meson-warnings.
On some systems aarch64 is reported as arm64. Due to mesons
mangling of everything that starts with arm, it would end up being
detected as arm (which implies 32 bit) which is incorrect.
We don't need the legacy variable name system as for dependency()
fallbacks because meson.override_find_program() is largely used already,
so we can just rely on it.
