It's a terrible user experience to force people building 32-bit
applications on 64-bit Windows to use a cross-info file when every other
tool treats it as a 'native' compilation -- it satisfies all the
requirements for a native compile.
This commit also fixes the platform detection on Windows which would
cause the 'native cpu' to be detected as 32-bit if you installed 32-bit
Python on 64-bit Windows, or if you were building with a 32-bit
toolchain on 64-bit Windows.
Doesn't support MinGW yet -- the next commits will add that since the
changes required for that are more involved.
Instead of spreading it across the entire file and re-implementing
can_compile for each compiler, consolidate it in one dictionary which
the base compiler class can refer to based on self.language set by the
child class.
This has fixed a number of hidden and unreported bugs due to bitrotten
can_compiler implementations.
In autotools POTFILES is generated at configure time from POTFILES.in,
but Meson only looks for a po/POTFILES in the source directory, which
is awkward when trying to maintain both build systems in parallel.
Instead just use POTFILES.in as fallback if it exists but POTFILES
does not. Also print an error if neither exists.
Fixes#818
Add support for passing a description to configuration data
setter methods via a 'description' kwarg. The description
string will be used when meson generates the entire configure
file without a template, autoconf-style.
These paths are now generated similar to
NinjaBackend.generate_single_compile where IncludeDirs create includes
of both the build directory path and the source directory path.
This also fixes a bug with include_directories, where the path string
supplied to the IncludeDirs initializer was used for the search path,
instead of the actual location to which it referred. Often, this was a
'.', and not a really useful path.
/FS forces .pdb file writing to be serialized through MSPDBSRV.EXE,
which is supposed to solve concurrency issues (esp. with anti-viruses),
but it doesn't actually always work. It also isn't needed anymore since
we don't use a shared vcXXX.pdb temporary file for pdb writing and use
/Fd to explicitly set a per-target pdb filename instead.
Not serializing the PDB writing will make a large difference on fast
disks when linking multiple libraries and executables simultaneously.
the pkgconfig module automatically specified to install the
pkgconfig file to {libdir}/pkgconfig. Default settings in meson
already include multiarch-directories like x86_64-gnu-linux into
the libdir. pkgconfig usually does not check inside multiarch-dirs
for any pkgconfig-files.
to make this a bit more flexible, this commit introduces the
install_dir attribute for pkgconfig.generate. if it is set, the
default install path will be overridden by the users input
