This is broken and terrible and thus completely unusable. Don't torture
users by finding pkg-config on Windows, thus permitting the pkg-config
lookup of several dependencies that do not actually work -- which then
fails at build time.
This also breaks CI for the wrapdb, because Strawberry Perl is provided
as part of the base image for the OS (yes, even though it is terribly
broken!!!) and anything that depends on e.g. zlib will "find" zlib
because of this broken disaster, even though it should use the wrapdb
subproject of zlib.
It is assumed no one actually wants to mix Strawberry Perl and meson. In
fact, some projects, such as gst-build, already unconditionally error
out if Strawberry Perl is detected in PATH:
error('You have Strawberry Perl in PATH which is known to cause build issues with gst-build. Please remove it from PATH or uninstall it.')
Other projects (postgresql) actually do want to build perl extensions,
and link to the perl dlls, but absolutely under no circumstances ever
want to use its pkg-config implementation. ;)
Let's solve this problem by just considering this to not be a valid
pkg-config, let the user find another or not have one at all.
This change "solves"

There are a bunch of cases in a single function where we would want to
log the detected path of pkg-config. Formatting this is awkward. Define
it once, then use f-strings everywhere. :D
Since they will never be used outside of the build directory, they do
not need to literally contain the .o files, and references will be
sufficient.
This covers a major use of object libraries, which is that the static
library would potentially take up a lot of space by including another
copy of every .o file.

The `init__()` method basically existed solely to be overridden by every
derivative class. Better to use it only in the class that needs it.
This fixes several warnings, including missing calls to init because we
skipped ArLinker due to not wanting it... also get rid of a pointless
popen return code saved as pc, which we never checked.
This reverts commit c0efa7ab22.
This was a nice idea, or a beautiful hack depending on your perspective.
Unfortunately, it turns out to be a lot harder than we originally
thought. By operating on bare nodes, we end up triggering a FeatureNew
on anything that isn't a string literal, rather than anything that
isn't a string.
Since no one else has come up with a better idea for implementing a
FeatureNew, let's just revert it. Better to not have a warning, than
have it trigger way too often.
This will re-apply the meson.build patch overlay, ensuring it is up to
date. Also take the opportunity offered by this infrastructure to
repatch when performing `update --reset` since internally this will run
`git stash` and thus cause the (possibly locally modified) meson.build
files to disappear.
This reverts commit 4568482316.
As it turns out, the rationale for this was completely bogus. This
command doesn't re-apply the patch_directory etc. and in fact there is
no command whatsoever that does this. So, this command does not have two
purposes, and we are not making one of them more robust -- instead it
has one purpose, and we are making it lie about whether it failed.
Instead of trying to freeload off of this command, we will just add
another command to properly apply patch overlays.
For example the OpenRC build files install libraries to install_dir: '/lib'
and this works, but causes the generated pkg-config to say:
prefix=/usr
Libs: -L${prefix}//lib
which is both ugly (double //) and resolves to /usr/lib which is exactly
what does not work.
* Revert "README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script"
This reverts commit 9763bf65c6.
zipapps work fine now that we have a single entry point. Time to
recommend them again.
* update zipapp documentation to recommend the current packaging script
Also update the website documentation to mention this at all.
It can be either:
- boolean: the option is completely deprecated.
- list: some choices are deprecated.
- dict: some choices are deprecated and replaced by another.
Fixes: #7444
info.types could be a tuple like (str, ContainerTypeInfo()). That means
we have to check types one by one and only print error if none of them
matched.
Also fix the case when default value is None for a container type, it
should leave the value to None to be able to distinguish between unset
and empty list.
This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.

Sometimes, the machine file can include compiler command line options,
in order to pick the correct multilib. For example, Meson uses "$cc
--print-search-dirs" to find the library search path, where $cc is the
cc from the machine file. Because the outputs of "gcc -m32
--print-search-dirs" and "gcc --print-search-dirs" are different, this
only works if you have
[binaries]
cc = ['gcc', '-m32']
in the machine file. Right now, however, the cmake module assumes that
the compiler listed in the machine file is either a compiler, or a
"launcher" followed by the compiler. Check if the second argument
starts with a slash (for Microsoft-like compilers) or a dash (for
everyone else), and if so presume that the CMAKE_*_COMPILER_LAUNCHER
need not be defined.
UseMultiToolTask allows parallelism inside a project, without requiring cl.exe
internal multi-threading (which meson generated projects currently can't use,
mainly due to specifying output filenames for each object).
TODO:
- think about making behaviour conditional on msbuild version / add comment
why not
The main reason for this move is to make it easier to merge the copies of
project generation. But as far as I can tell, the Microsoft.Cpp.props import
also belongs before the ItemDefinitionGroup.
Originally the order seems to have been that way, but 431a9ea664 changed it in
the course of other changes.
install_dir needs to be set to something, because CustomTarget expects
that. genmarshal still relies on CustomTarget setting it internally
itself.
