The output may be a binary data stream, not subject to any locale
encoding. This avoids any encoding errors that might arise as a result.
Also fixes github issue #2868.
This is important so people can not trick Meson to select a
subproject_dir that is not in the project's source directory.
It also ensures a string is used for the path.
They now are published by the D Language Foundation, and not Digital
Mars. Therefore, their signature has changed slightly.
(We can not check for 'DMD', because that string appears in every
compiler version output to denote the frontend version used by the
compiler).
The previous change disallowed any subdirectories for subproject dirs,
and therefore broke a couple of projects making use of that.
This change still prevents people from setting subproject dirs that are
not in the project's source tree, while allowing to specify any path
within the project's directory again.
Resolves: #2719
Because FreeBSD's llvm-config adds -l/usr/lib/libexecinfo.so when asked
for system-libs, which is bogus. We'll remove the leading -l from any
argument that also ends with .so.
Instead of looking for an objc compiler. Fixes objc++ tests on
DragonFlyBSD (which has an objc but not an objc++ compiler)
Really though, the objc and objc++ tests need to be untangled so that
the objc tests can run even if an objc++ compiler is unavilable.
gnome.gtkdoc uses -Wl,-rpath to ensure the scanner executable built by
gtkdoc-scangobj will load shared libraries from the correct directories.
However, FreeBSD configures its linker to use --enable-new-dtags by
default, which converts RPATH to RUNPATH. If users have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable set, RUNPATH will be overrided by LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and libraries will be loaded from wrong directories, causing undefined
symbol error when running the executable.
In order to solve the problem, we have to prepend directories specified
with -Wl,-rpath to LD_LIBRARY_PATH to avoid relying on the deprecated
RPATH attribute.
