This is useful in many cases where the list of files cannot be known in
advance and is just dumped inside a directory. For example when
generating documentation with doxygen and other tools that we don't have
built-in support for.
Includes a test for the same.
Closes#893
In the case of subproject we will properly setup the --subdir argument
but the MESON_SUBDIR is never adapted and will point to an empty string
leading to the following backtrace when building `gst-build`:

Instead of adding it everywhere manually, create a wrapper called
mesonlib.Popen_safe and use that everywhere that we call an executable
and extract its output.
This will also allow us to tweak it to do more/different things if
needed for some locales and/or systems.
Closes#1079
Using 'mesonbuild' as the module can cause it to use the
system-installed module and can also break if we rename the directory,
so avoid that by always using relative imports.
installation.
During a `python3.4 setup.py install`, the yelphelper.py script errors
out with: "SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment
target". Fix this problem.
Not all headers are public, or contain public types. GTK-Doc allows
adding headers to be ignored during the "scan" phase, by passing the
`--ignore-headers` command line argument to gtkdoc-scan.
Currently, you can do something like:
ignored_headers = [ 'foo-private.h', 'bar-private.h', ]
gnome.gtkdoc(...
scan_args: [
'--ignore-headers=' + ' '.join(ignored_headers),
],
...)
But it does not guarantee escaping rules and it's definitely not nice.
We can add a simpler version of that mechanism through a new positional
argument, `ignore_headers`, which behaves like `content_files` or
`html_assets`, and takes an array of header files to ignore:
gnome.gtkdoc(...
ignore_headers: ignored_headers,
...)
If a `<modulename>-overrides.txt` file exists in the docs directory it
means it's intended to be used in place of the one gtk-doc generates.
GLib and GTK+, for instance, ship with one because some of the types
they provide — like the thread primitives, or the platform macros —
contain architecture-dependent fields that should not be accessed
directly.
This commit should close the last bit of issue #550.
For each project this creates a <project>-update-po target.
When ran this updates the pot file and then merges it back
into the po files in the source directory with `msgmerge`
for project maintainers and translators.
Fixes#819
Allowing the object tree to be generated.
We need to add options to allow copying the ncesseary sources and
assets so the HTML generator can work with them (everything is
relative so we need to copy them in the build directory).
Until now the documentation was not generated from the user provided
main sgml file but it was using a generated one, which lead to a broken
documentation. Starting using it revealed the other bugs fixed in that
commit.
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
Passing an absolute path to `install_dir` would previously always
attempt to install there, instead of obeying DESTDIR, since os.path.join
will 'reset' on absolute paths.
For commands that always output to stdout and don't have a "-o" or
"--output" or some other similar option, this 'capture' setting allows
the build to capture the result and place it in the output file.
