Currently if flatten() is passed a non-list object, it returns that
object. This is surprising behavior, and prone to causing serious and
numerous problems, since many objects implement the iterable interface,
and thus can be used in cases a list is expected, but with undesirable
results.
Usage:
pkgconfig.generate(
...
description : 'A library with custom variables.',
variables : ['foo=bar', 'datadir=${prefix}/data']
)
The variables 'prefix', 'libdir' and 'includedir' are reserved, meson will
fail with an error message.
Variables can reference each other with the pkgconfig notation, e.g.
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data',
'otherdatadir=${datadir}/other']
meson does not check this for correctness or that the referenced variable
exists, we merely keep the same order as specified.
Although not stricly necessary, it is good to mention $DESTDIR in the
explanation for add_install_script, since it might not be obvious for the
user that it is available.
Also add punctuation to be consistent.
v2:
- fix "witht" typo
- reword $DESTDIR description to say that it is inherited from the environment
- also describe $MESONINTROSPECT
This simplifies everything since it means we will always search for the
dependency again on the system if it wasn't found. This is particularly
important when running `ninja reconfigure` with an edited
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to a path that contains more pkg-config files.
The old caching was a mess of spaghetti code layered over pasta code.
The new code is well-commented, is clear about what it's trying to do,
and uses a blacklist of keyword arguments instead of a whitelist while
generating identifiers for dep caching which makes it much more robust
for future changes.
The only side-effect of forgetting about a new keyword argument would
be that the dependency would not be cached unless the values of that
keyword arguments were the same in the cached and new dependency.
There are also more tests which identify scenarios that were broken
earlier.
This actually caught a cached-dependency related bug for me that the
test-time regen did not. I also increased the ninja wait time to
1 second because that's actually how long you need to sleep to be
guaranteed that a change will be detected.
Must poke upstream about https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/371
All our cached_dep magic was totally useless since we ended up using
the same identifier for native and cross deps. Just nuke all this
cached_dep code since it is very error-prone and improve the
identifier generation instead.
For instance, this is broken *right now* with the `type_name` kwarg.
Add a bunch of tests to ensure that all this actually works...
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1736
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.
Move '-C' option into 'get_always_args' as we always generate C sources.
Add a branch in the dependency management to perform Vala-specific work
of adding '--pkg' and '--target-glib'.
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
This adds a set of private flags that are removed from the output of
`llvm-config --cppflags` before storing them. This is unfortunately
necessary since some versions of LLVM include absolute garbage like
'-DNDEBUG' in their CPP flags, and we don't want to pass those.
This implementation is obvious rather than efficient, but it's efficient
enough for our uses I think. It uses `type(self)` to guarantee that it
works even in subclasses or if the name of the class changes.
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.
