The documentation doesn't require it and the interpreter code works around the
possibility of it being None. The ninja backend code however fails with
File "/home/whot/code/meson/mesonbuild/backend/ninjabackend.py", line 796, in generate_data_install
dstabs = os.path.join(subdir or None, plain_f)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/posixpath.py", line 78, in join
a = os.fspath(a)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
If install_dir is missing, default to datadir/projectname
After PR #2662, running test case common/125 shared module/ on Cygwin gets
me:
$ ninja -C _build
ninja: Entering directory `_build'
[7/7] Linking target prog.exe.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: warning: --export-dynamic is not supported for PE+ targets, did you mean --export-all-symbols?
Also, fix doc for correct version of first apperance.
Future work: Notwithstanding the hint that ld gives, these options are not
equivalent, and it's not clear we should be using it here:
--export-all-symbols is the default behaviour, and if the exports are
restricted by explicit annotations or a .def file, this option might be
overriding that...
Meson is able to redefine variables when retrieving them from
`pkg-config` dependencies. However, the documentation is missing.
This patch adds documentation for this feature.
For dependency() and subproject(), the default_options argument can
override the defaults in the subproject's meson_options.txt, not in
its project() invocation.
Resolves#2612
This allows a CustomTarget to be indexed, and the resulting indexed
value (a CustomTargetIndex type), to be used as a source in other
targets. This will confer a dependency on the original target, but only
inserts the source file returning by index the original target's
outputs. This can allow a CustomTarget that creates both a header and a
code file to have it's outputs split, for example.
Fixes#1470
