Currently only strings can be passed to the link_depends argument of
executable and *library, which solves many cases, but not every one.
This patch allows generated sources and Files to be passed as well.
On the implementation side, it uses a helper method to keep the more
complex logic separated from the __init__ method. This also requires
that Targets set their link_depends paths as Files, and the backend is
responsible for converting to strings when it wants them.
This adds tests for the following cases:
- Using a file in a subdir
- Using a configure_file as an input
- Using a custom_target as an input
It does not support using a generator as an input, since currently that
would require calling the generator twice, once for the -Wl argument,
and once for the link_depends.
Also updates the docs.
Allow users to specify @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ in generator arguments
to specify the current target source directory.
This is useful when creating protobuf generator objects in sub-directories
because protoc will then generate files in the expected location.
Fixes#1622.
Remove stray semicolon
Update documentation
Refactor to use ExternalProgram for the command instead of duplicating
that code (badly). Also improve messages to say "or not executable"
when a script/command is not found.
Also allow ExternalPrograms to be passed as arguments to
run_command(). The only thing we're doing by preventing that is
forcing people to use prog.path()
The file will always exist by the time run_command() is invoked, so
there is no reason why we should forbid it. Also allow using File
objects as the command to run since strings are also allowed.
We never use preprocessed output anywhere except compiler checks,
so we don't care about the debugging information that it adds.
Just always disable it.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1726
Provide a proper error message, rather than the current
"Command cannot have '@INPUT0@', since no input files were specified"
which doesn't actually tell us where things are going wrong.
This adds a depdendncy wrapper for llvm-config based on the wxwidgets
dependency. IT handles libs, version, include dir, and the llvm unique
concept of components. These components are individual pieces of the
LLVM library that may or may not be available depending on the platform.
