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.
It is extremely common to need to know within a given dependency if
a given header, symbol, member, function, etc exists that cannot be
determined from the version number alone.
Without passing dependency objects to the various compiler/linker
checks and with many libraries headers/libraries being located in
their own subdirs of the standard prefix, the check for the library
would not find the header/function/symbol/etc.
This commit allows passing dependency objects to the compiler checks so
that the test program can be compiled/linked/run with the necessary
compilation and/or linking flags for that library.
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
