We need to setup the environment we pass to g-ir-scanner because it will
try to use pkg-config to find dependencies, and that must respect user
settings from machine file. Also make it use uninstalled pc files Meson
generated in the case dependencies, such as glib, have been built as
subproject.
The new get_env() method that returns an EnvironmentVariables object
will be needed in next commit that will pass it to CustomTarget.
This has the side effect to use the proper os specific path separator
instead of hardcoding `:`. It is the obvious right thing to do here, but
has caused issues in the past. Hopefully issues have been fixed in the
meantime. If not, better deal with fallouts than keep doing the wrong
thing forever.
[why]
Support for the relatively new mold linker is missing. If someone wants
to use mold as linker `LDFLAGS="-B/path/to/mold"` has to be added instead
of the usual `CC_LD=mold meson ...` or `CXX_LD=mold meson ...`.
[how]
Allow `mold' as linker for clang and newer GCC versions (that versions
that have support).
The error message can be a bit off, because it is generic for all GNU
like compilers, but I guess that is ok. (i.e. 'mold' is not listed as
possible linker, even if it would be possible for the given compiler.)
[note]
GCC Version 12.0.1 is not sufficient to say `mold` is supported. The
expected release with support will be 12.1.0.
On the other hand people that use the un-released 12.0.1 will probably
have built it from trunk. Allowing 12.0.1 is helping bleeding edge
developers to use mold in Meson already now.

Regression in commit 11f9638035. When
`install: true` the install_dir must be set. The CustomTarget
initializer no longer checks this for us, so we must include the check
ourselves.
Regression in commit 11f9638035. We expect
exactly one string as an install_dir, but CustomTarget started expecting
it to be a list. So we need to pass it as such when forwarding
compile_translations() arguments to the CustomTarget initializer.
The compiler flag only exists on Visual Studio 2015 or later, or clang-cl,
and using this always can interfere with compiler feature detection when
this flag is not supported.
So, remove '/utf-8' from always_args if we are on Visual Studio 2013 or
earlier.
This way, we can ensure that gtk-doc parses the --path argument
correctly when passed in from the cmd.exe console, since ':' is normally
used to denote that a drive is being used on local paths.
- Documentation for the pkgconfig.relocatable module option in
Builtin-options. Gives an explanation on what it does, usefulness and
what error that can occur when using it.
- Add pkgconfig.relocatable release snippet. Similar to the
documentation in Builtin-options. Just a bit more brief.
- Add Pkgconfig to DataTests.test_builtin_options_documented in the
docs unit tests.
If set to true it will generate the pkgconfig files as relocatable i.e
the prefix variable will be relative to the install_dir. By default
this is false.
Will generate a MesonException if the pkgconfig file is installed
outside of the package and pkgconfig.relocatable=true.
We can immediately short-circuit if there is no destdir, as we simply
return the prefix unchanged.
If there is some kind of destdir and the prefix contains a drive letter,
then no matter what we need to remove the drive letter before joining.
Technically, if the destdir is a relative path e.g. `destdir\` and
`C:\prefix`, we should still install to `destdir\prefix` without the
drive letter.
But... we also guarantee that destdir is an absolute path (or empty)
anyway. And even if we didn't, non-absolute destdir is a broken concept
for a variety of complicated reasons. So none of this matters in
practice.
One way or another, we don't need to actually check whether destdir is
an absolute path before cutting off the prefix drive letter.
It's a bit annoying having to *manually* disable a workflow for forks,
because the scheduled build is a waste of time and also spammy.
On the other hand, having the workflow enabled is in general a good
thing, because it is in fact desirable to test it locally in forks.
In commit f291b637b1 the tools were moved
around but a comment got forgotten. Now, in order to be meaningful and
remind us of anything, it needs to be in a different location.
This has been broken ever since the original implementation. Due to a
typo, the optimization flag used a zero instead of an uppercase "o",
which the compiler then breaks on during argument parsing because it is
an invalid argument.
Fixes#10267
In print_options() k was a string instead of OptionKey, but
self.yielding_options expects OptionKey. Not sure how this has not been
catched by mypy.
Fix by keeping k as OptionKey which makes self.yielding_options useless.
Fixes: #9503
Although Qt6 has decided these are "internal" commands and should never
be run directly, so they don't get symlinked to /usr/bin at all, and are
only available in the qt_dep.bindir anyway.
But, the general naming pattern should be followed on principle.
Qt now has official guidance for the symlinked names of the tools, which
is great.
Qt now officially calls the tools `fooX` instead of `foo-qtX` where the
major version of Qt is X. Which is not great, because a bit of an
unofficial standard had prior art and now needs to change, and we never
adapted.
Prefer the official name whenever looking up qmake, and in the
testsuite, specifically look only for the official name on versions of
qt which we know should have that.
Fixes regression in commit c211fea513. The
original dependency lookup looked for `qmake-{self.name}`, i.e.
`qmake-qt5`, but when porting to config-tool, it got switched to
`qmake-{self.qtname}` i.e. `qmake-Qt6`, which was bogus and never
worked. As a result, if `qmake-qt5` and `qmake` both existed, and the
latter was NOT qt5, it would only try the less preferred name, and then
fail.
We need to define self.name early enough to define the configtool names,
which means we need to set it before running the configtool __init__()
even though configtool/pkgconfig would also set it to the same value.
Mark the tests as passing on two distros that were failing to detect
qmake due to this issue, and were marked for skipping because we assumed
that the CI skipping there was an expected case rather than an old
regression.
The "frameworks/4 qt" test covers Qt 4 and 5. There is already Qt 6 code
in the test but it is incomplete because translations are missing and Qt
6 requires C++17 or later to compile.
