with msys ncurses-config returns a unix style path (currently, though
it's been fixed upstream), which the compilers don't understand, so we
can't do that. Additionally, while the system search does work, there's
missing include directories that need to be added.
On win32 there is pdcurses, so we detect it first, because python
depends on ncursesw, so if we don't want to use ncursesw, we should make
sure pdcurses detect before ncursesw
The linker that comes with MSVC does not understand the /openmp flag.
This results in a string of
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/openmp'; ignored
warnings, one for each static_library linked with an executable.
Avoid this by only setting the linker openmp flag when the compiler is
not MSVC.
D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
Currently PkgConfig takes language as a keyword parameter in position 3,
while the others take it as positional in position 2. Because most
dependencies don't actually set a language (they use C style linking),
using a positional argument makes more sense. ExtraFrameworkDependencies
is even more different, and duplicates some arguments from the base
ExternalDependency class.
For later changes I'm planning to make having all of the dependencies
use the same signature is really, really helpful.
fixes#6096.
Didn't use CMake because Curses is a real corner-case for CMake that
would require Curses-specific enhancements to Meson's CMake interface.
cmake: get language from Meson project if not specified as depedency(..., langugage: ...)
deps: add threads method:cmake
dependency('threads', method: 'cmake') is useful for cmake unit tests
or those who just want to find threads using cmake.
cmake: project(... Fortran) generally also requires C language
This addresses various real-world problems with HDF5 pkg-config, including
* hdf*.pc with package versions as part of the filename
* malformed hdf*.pc missing the commonly-used HDF5 HL module

Additionally, this refactors more complicated dependencies such as
HDF5 and OpenMPI. This may help us deduplicate internal dependency
code in the future.
HDF5 selftest: improve platform-agnostic test
ci: init demo github action for HDF5 framework
ci Actions: hold off on MSYS2 for now [skip ci]
hdf5: ensure C libraries always included
ci: mac hdf5--use clang+gfortran
In most cases instead pass `for_machine`, the name of the relevant
machines (what compilers target, what targets run on, etc). This allows
us to use the cross code path in the native case, deduplicating the
code.
As one can see, environment got bigger as more information is kept
structured there, while ninjabackend got a smaller. Overall a few amount
of lines were added, but the hope is what's added is a lot simpler than
what's removed.
Since gpgme 1.13.0, pkg-config files are available and this is the
preferred way to detect the dependency. Without this, projects that wish
to generate pkg-config files that Requires.private on gpgme, now have
their custom dependency() fallbacks overridden with an incorrect
configtool dependency.
Instad of having special casing of threads in the backends and
everywehre else, do what we did for openmp, create a real
dependency. Then make use of the fact that dependencies can now have
sub dependencies to add threads.
