One thing that makes cross compiling with meson a pain is the need for
cross files. The problem is not with cross files themselves (they're
actually rather brilliant in that they allow for a much greater deal of
flexibility than autotools hardcoded paths approach) but that each user
needs to reimplement them themselves, when for most people what they
really want is a cross file that could be provided by their distro, all
they really want is the correct toolchain.
This patch is the first stop to making it easier for distros to ship
their own cross files (and for users to put their's somewhere safe so
they don't get `git clean`ed. It allows the cross files (on Linux and
*BSD) to be stored in home and system paths (~/.config/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, and /usr/local/share/meson/cross), and to be
loaded by simply by specificying --cross-file.
With this patch meson will check the locations its always checked first,
(is cross file absolute, or is it relative to $PWD), then will check
~/.config/meson/cross, /usr/local/share/meson/cross,
/usr/share/meson/cross, (or $XDG_CONFIG_PATH and $XDG_DATA_DIRS) for the
files, raising an exception if it cannot find the specified cross file.
Fixes#2283
When `ninja -C builddir/ test` is run, ninja will change into the build
dir before starting, but `meson test -C builddir/` does not. This is
important because meson does not use (for good reasons) absolute paths,
which means if a test case needs to be passed as an argument a file name
that is part of the build process, it will be relative builddir. Without
changing into the builddir the path will not exist (or worse, point at
the wrong thing), and test will not behave as intended.
To fix this mtest will change directory before starting tests, and will
change back after all tests have been finished.
Fixes#2710
This exposes the already existing UserStringArrayOption class through
the meson_options.txt. The intention is to provide a way for projects to
take list/array type arguments and validate that all of the elements in
that array are valid without using complex looping constructrs.
While finding an external program, we should only split the shebang
once since that is what Linux and BSD also do. This is also why
everyone uses #!/usr/bin/env in their shebangs since that allows
you to run an interpreter in a path with spaces in it.
See `man execve` for more details, specifically the sections for
interpreter scripts.
Depending on the tool (moc, uic, rcc, lrelease), the Qt version
(4.8, 5.7, 5.9) and the distribution (Fedora, debian,...) it seems you
cannot predict which of -v or -version will be supported.

Currently passing a bad combo or array option, providing a non-boolean
to a bool arg, or a host of other things can cause an traceback from a
MesonException, don't do that.
Fixes#2683
Although some other base types like boolean objects can be expresed
as strings, this is not possible with int objects.
This patch adds support to express int values as strings as hex,
decimal or octal values.
Some dependencies can be detected multiple ways, such as a config tool
and pkg-config. For pkg-config a new PkgConfigDependency is created and
used to check for the dependency, config tool dependencies are handled
ad-hoc. This allows the ConfigToolDependency to be used in the same way
that PkgConfigDependency is.
This class is meant abstract away some of the tedium of writing a config
tool wrapper dependency, and allow these instances to share some basic
code that they all need.
This basically boils down to using map() and expecting a list, but map
returns an iterator. The better solution is to use a list comprehension
anyway, so do that.
- Added a new compile_translations method since preprocess was already quite
full and translations compilation is quite different from ui, qrc, cpp files
preprocessing.
- Updated translation.
- Updated test case.

Just detect lrelease as done with other Qt tools.
Uses -version instead of -v to probe version since lrelease don't
support it.

- removed a typo in tools detection loop
- added include dir also when parsing cpp sources with moc, not only headers
