pkgconf automatically prunes "system library paths" from its output. The
system library paths depend on the system toolchain. A common value on a
64-bit system is as follows:
/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib64
So, if -L/usr/lib64 appears in the Libs section, it will be pruned from
the output of pkg-config --libs.
The pc files generated for this test contain something like this:
libdir=/usr/lib
Libs: -L${libdir} ...
pkgconf may not consider /usr/lib to be a system library path, so it is
not pruned as the test expects. To work around this, override the
compiled-in list of paths via the PKG_CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.

The rust code is ugly, because rust is annoying. It doesn't invoke a
linker directly (unless that linker is link.exe or lld-link.exe),
instead it invokes the C compiler (gcc or clang usually) to do it's
linking. Meson doesn't have good abstractions for this, though we
probably should because some of the D compilers do the same thing.
Either that or we should just call the c compiler directly, like vala
does.
This changes the public interface for meson, which we don't do unless we
absolutely have to. In this case I think we need to do it. A fair number
of projects have already been using 'ld' in their cross/native files to
get the ld binary and call it directly in custom_targets or generators,
and we broke that. While we could hit this problem again names like
`c_ld` and `cpp_ld` are far less likely to cause collisions than `ld`.
Additionally this gives a way to set the linker on a per-compiler basis,
which is probably in itself very useful.
Fixes#6442
The pefile module is a CI dependency now, so we can use that instead
of objdump/dumpbin which greatly simplifies the test. Of course, this
module is also cross-platform so it will work if we add cross-win32 CI
at some point.
Make the 'framework/4 qt' test more flexible about what version of Qt is
expected to be present in the CI environment. Currently, this is
hard-coded as Qt5. We add an option to specify it so we can run this
test under CI with just Qt4 present.
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.
The latest Windows 10 release in May 2019 added zero-sized files that
act as stubs which when launched from cmd.exe spawn the Windows Store
to install those apps. This also includes python.exe and python3.exe:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-the-windows-10-may-2019-update/
Unfortunately, `import('python').find_installation('python3')` will
then think that python3.exe is available on Windows. Or, worse, if the
user has a fresh installation of Windows 10 and then installs the
Python 3 using the official installer (not the Windows Store app), we
will *still* pickup this stub because it will be first in `PATH`.
Always remove the WindowsApps directory from `PATH` while searching.

declare_dependencies
This allows dependencies declared in subprojects to set variables, and
for those variables to be accessed via the get_variable method, just
like those from pkg-config and cmake. This makes it easier to use
projects from subprojects in a polymorphic manner, lowering the
distinction between a subproject and an external dependency every
further.
* environment: Fix passing always args to a number of less common linkers
These are mostly (oops xilink) proprietary linkers I can't use for
various reasons.
Fixes: #6332
* Add intelfix from scivision.
* Ifort fix from scivision.
* PGI fix from scivision.
* Cuda fix from scivision.
* Fix linker passing for armclang.
