It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not
really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used
as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then
deleted from your meson.build files.
Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we
cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without
someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it.
Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external
script that parses introspection data.
Closes#9764Closes#9763
This is basically a rewrite of the gnome.yelp target to remove the
ad-hoc script, which generates multiple issues, including meson
not knowing which files were installed.

When generating pkgconfig file for a library that links to an
uninstalled static library built by custom_target() Meson was crashing
when trying to access some attributes that does not exist on that class.
Also fix is_internal() implementation, it only really make sense on a
CustomTargetIndex or if CustomTarget has only a single output.
These are actually just flags, they don't take any arguments (except
prefix, which was already handled correctly), and as such their
arguments should be booleans, not strings, and they should default to
False.
There is a change here, in that packages has error messaging for using
IncludeDirs objects in the packages argument, but it never worked, so
the message was useless.
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which
are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always.
The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating
correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass
it, we'll just delete it.
Use a proper install option for this. Now `install_<type>` can directly
override `install` instead of passing a boolean to the string kwarg
`install_dir_<type>`.
generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people
only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means
flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target
supports.
As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working.
It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway.

Originally name should have been set to required=True, but since then
the requirement to name CustomTargets (which compile_resources is a
wrapper around) has been dropped. As such we just need to allow the
default value of None through.
Fixes: #9698
Make it possible to specify a wrapper for executing binaries
in cross-compiling scenarios.
(usually, some kind of target hardware emulator, such as qemu)
Make the handling of bindgen inputs consistent with the inputs and outputs of
source_strings_to_files.
However, for the first source argument reject anything that cannot
possibly be an header file. This also fixes a mypy failure from the next
patch, since ExtractedObjects does not have a zero-argument get_outputs
method.

As evidenced by the warning message immediately below this, I meant to
write "5.15" here. As is, this will enable depfile support on too-old
versions of moc.
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], I noticed that meson did
not generate reproducible .cmake files: they include the full path name.
This commit not only makes the build reproducible, but it also matches CMake's
own behaviour. Specifically, CMakePackageConfigHelpers.cmake does the
equivalent transformation using:
get_filename_component(inputFileName "${_inputFile}" NAME)
I originally filed this in Debian as bug #1000327 [1].

We went straight to the extra message, which when parsed as a subproject
string resulted in the Feature being entirely skipped because "project()
has not been parsed yet" as it could not find a subproject named that.
When input kwarg is missing in i18n.merge_file() it was crashing with a
backtrace because of kwargs['input'][0]. That code was useless anyway
because CustomTarget now uses first output as default name which is what
we need here.
Virtualenvs do not have their Python DLLs etc in the `sys.prefix`
directory, but in the `sys.base_prefix` directory. This directory is
the same as `sys.prefix` if not in a virtualenv, so is safe for either
case:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.base_prefix
We currently enable this only for rcc (where this really really matters)
but it can often matter for moc as well, and is just generally more
correct.
Really, this should have been added in #7451 too, but I neglected it
since the module warned about inaccurate dependencies only for rcc...
This removes the `packages` keyword argument, which was added in
80d665e8de, but beyond not warning about
unknown arguments has never done anything, and has never been
documented. The only users I could find were in our own test suite. If
someone is using this we can add it back with a deprecation warning.
