* Add boost_root support to properties files
This commit implements `boost_root`, `boost_includedir`, and
`boost_librarydir` variable support to native and cross properties
files. The search order is currently environment variables, then
these variables, and finally a platform-dependent search.
* Add preliminary boost_root / boost_includedir tests
Each test contains a fake "version.hpp", as that's how boost detection is
currently being done. We look for this file relative to the root directory,
which probably shouldn't be allowed (it previously was for BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
but not for BOOST_ROOT). It also cannot help with breakage detection in
libraries, however it looks like this wasn't getting tested beforehand.
I've given the two unique version numbers that shouldn't be present in any
stock version of boost (001 and 002).
* Add return type to detect_split_root
* Return empty list when nothing found in BOOST_ROOT, rather than None
* Update boost_root tests
* Create nativefile.ini based on location of run_project_tests.py
* Add fake libraries to ensure boost_librarydir is being used
* Require all search paths for boost to be absolute
* Redo boost search ordering
To better match things like pkg-config, we now look through native/cross files,
then environment variables, then system locations for boost installations.
Path detection does not fall back from one method to the next for properties or
environment variables--if boost_root, boost_librarydir, or boost_includedir is
specified, they must be sufficient to find boost. Likewise for BOOST_ROOT and
friends. pkg-config detection is still optional falling back to system-wide
detection, for Conan.
(Also, fix a typo in test 33's nativefile)
* Correct return type for detect_roots
* Correct boost dependency search order in documentation
* Print debug information for boost library finding, to resolve CI issues
* Handle native/cross file templates in a more consistent way
All tests can now create a `nativefile.ini.in` if they need to use some
parameter that the testing framework knows about but they can't.
* Pass str--rather than PosixPath--to os.path.exists, for Python35
* Look for boost minor versions, rather than boost patch versions in test cases
* Drop fake dylib versions of boost_regex
* Prefer get_env_var to use of os.environ
* Correct error reporting for relative BOOST_ROOT paths
* Bump version this appears in. Also, change "properties file" to "machine file" as that appears to be the more common language.
We have experimented with the module for about a year in a qemu
branch (https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Meson), and we would like to
start moving the build system to meson. For that, keyval should have
the stability guarantees.

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.
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.
This fix the following common pattern, we don't want to implicitly
fallback on the first line:
foo_dep = dependency('foo', required: false)
if not foo_dep.found()
foo_dep = cc.find_library('foo', required : false)
if not foo_dep.found()
foo_dep = dependency('foo', fallback: 'foo')
endif
endif
The value for that key must be a coma separated list of dependecy names
provided by that subproject, when no variable name is needed because the
subproject uses override_dependency().
Machine files already supports `+` operator as an implementation detail,
since it's using eval(). Now make it an officially supported feature and
add a way to define constants that are used while evaluating an entry
value.
This lets servers know when they're being used by meson. It also avoids
issues where the Independent JPEG Group decided to ban the
"Python-urllib" default user agent.
Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/libjpeg/issues/9
Since the CompileArgs class already needs to know about the compiler,
and we really need at least per-lanaguage if not per-compiler
CompilerArgs classes, let's get the CompilerArgs instance from the
compiler using a method.
