With executable(), if the link_with argument has a string as one of it's
elements, meson ends up throwing an AttributeError exception:
...
File "/home/lyudess/Projects/meson/mesonbuild/build.py", line 868, in link
if not t.is_linkable_target():
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'is_linkable_target'
Which is not very helpful in figuring out where exactly the project is
trying to link against a string instead of an actual link target. So,
fix this by verifying in BuildTarget.link() that each given target is
actually a Target object and not something else.
Additionally, add a simple test case for this in failing tests. At the
moment, this test case just passes unconditionally due to meson throwing
the AttributeError exception and failing as expected. However, this test
case will be useful eventually if we ever end up making failing tests
more strict about failing gracefully (per advice of QuLogic).
Also, make BasePlatformTests.tearDown() tolerate wipe() already having been
called, rather than AllPlatformTests.test_prefix_dependent_defaults() having
to avoid wipe() on the final iteration.
Rather than requiring a bit of boilerplate in every meson.build, which is
only documented in a comment in mesoncore.py, use sensible defaults for
sysconfdir, localstatedir and sharedstatedir depending on the prefix.
Fixes#1637
v2:
For clarity, give get_builtin_option_default() a noneIfSuppress argument,
rather than overloading prefix '' and None with special meanings.
This commit adds support for an additional `moc_extra_arguments` keyword.
It becomes especially handy, when `moc`-ed sources conditionally provide
`slots`, depending on compile time macros (i.e. defines).
LLVM >= 3.9 provides an llvm-config that has a sane mechanism for
selecting static vs dynamic linking. LLVM < 3.9 (but >= 3.5) not so
much. For those older LLVM versions, llvm-config will always provide
arguments for statically linking LLVM, even if there is a library for
dynamic linking.
Fixes#2442
Archlinux doesn't package tinfo, and the non-distro maintained package
(in the AUR), doesn't provide a pkgconfig, it just symlinks libncurses.
So just pick something else. glib-2.0 is used elsewhere in meson's test
suite, so that should be safe.
This is a cosmetic change because github seems to interpret those
correctly. Nonetheless, it adds unnecessary noise and makes people
modifying the pages think it might be needed.
See syntax guide at https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/
PkgConfig automatically removes -L paths from libdirs if the -L points
to a system path. It knows what these paths are by taking this as a
configure option at build time, which the distro maintainers set
appropriately and everything works. This allows one to have two
versions of a package installed, a system and non system, and then
override PKG_CONFIG_PATH to use the non system version, and everything
just works. For non-pkgconfig dependencies (such as LLVM) meson needs to
strip these themselves to avoid breaking the above use case.
Without specifying a custom install directory string, get_custom_install_dir() returns True. So for the `Libs` entry I was getting this:
Libs: -L${prefix}/True -lfoo
Now it behaves as expected:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfoo
