This aims to bring the support of QML modules to meson, the goal is to
provide something similar to CMake `qt_add_qml_module` function provided by Qt
(see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-add-qml-module.html )
Fixes: #6988, #9683
This allows checking for tools that may not be available in older version of qt
or avoiding requesting tools that may not be necessary for a given project

Since it's an implementation detail, and shouldn't be exposed. This also
helps give better error messages when a user writes `import('qt')`,
since otherwise you get an error about `qt doesn't have an initialize
method`, and now you get `qt module doesn't exist`.
This replaces all of the Apache blurbs at the start of each file with an
`# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0` string. It also fixes existing
uses to be consistent in capitalization, and to be placed above any
copyright notices.
This removes nearly 3000 lines of boilerplate from the project (only
python files), which no developer cares to look at.
SPDX is in common use, particularly in the Linux kernel, and is the
recommended format for Meson's own `project(license: )` field
(b, name) will always have the canonical tool name, not just a
potentially weird bin path. We need to check stderr for qt4 tools other
than lrelease, but we keyed off of the tool bin path, so matches were by
no means guaranteed, and specifically, would fail if the tool is looked
up via bindir.
This really should always have checked the canonical name, which is
guaranteed to be correct.
Partial fix for #10443
Regression in commit 11f9638035. When
`install: true` the install_dir must be set. The CustomTarget
initializer no longer checks this for us, so we must include the check
ourselves.
Regression in commit 11f9638035. We expect
exactly one string as an install_dir, but CustomTarget started expecting
it to be a list. So we need to pass it as such when forwarding
compile_translations() arguments to the CustomTarget initializer.
In commit f291b637b1 the tools were moved
around but a comment got forgotten. Now, in order to be meaningful and
remind us of anything, it needs to be in a different location.
Although Qt6 has decided these are "internal" commands and should never
be run directly, so they don't get symlinked to /usr/bin at all, and are
only available in the qt_dep.bindir anyway.
But, the general naming pattern should be followed on principle.
Qt 6.1 moved the location of some binaries from QT_HOST_BINS to
QT_HOST_LIBEXECS as noted in the changelog:
c515ee178f Move build tools to libexec instead of the bin dir
- Tools that are called by the build system and are unlikely to be
called by the user are now installed to the libexec directory.
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtreleasenotes.git/tree/qt/6.1.0/release-note.txt
It's possible to help the 'qt' module find the tools by adding Qt's
libexec directory to the PATH environment variable, but this manual
workaround is not ideal.
To compensate, meson now needs to look for moc, rcc, uic, etc. in
QT_HOST_LIBEXECS as well as QT_HOST_BINS.

These are only used for type checking, so don't bother importing them at
runtime.
Generally add future annotations at the same time, to make sure that
existing uses of these imports don't need to be quoted.
Using future annotations, type annotations become strings at runtime and
don't impact performance. This is not possible to do with T.cast though,
because it is a function argument instead of an annotation.
Quote the type argument everywhere in order to have the same effect as
future annotations. This also allows linters to better detect in some
cases that a given import is typing-only.
Because we don't want to pass the Interpreter kwargs into the build
layer. This turned out to be a mega commit, as there's really on elegant
way to make this change in an incremental way. On the nice side, mypy
made this change super easy, as nearly all of the calls to
`CustomTarget` are fully type checked!
It also turns out that we're not handling install_tags in custom_target
correctly, since we're not converting the boolean values into Optional
values!
Originally name should have been set to required=True, but since then
the requirement to name CustomTargets (which compile_resources is a
wrapper around) has been dropped. As such we just need to allow the
default value of None through.
Fixes: #9698
As evidenced by the warning message immediately below this, I meant to
write "5.15" here. As is, this will enable depfile support on too-old
versions of moc.
We currently enable this only for rcc (where this really really matters)
but it can often matter for moc as well, and is just generally more
correct.
Really, this should have been added in #7451 too, but I neglected it
since the module warned about inaccurate dependencies only for rcc...
This does not convert the build side, or remove any of the checking it
does. We still need that for other callers of custom target. What we'll
do for those is add an internal interface that defaults things, then
we'll be able to have those callers do their own validation, and the
CustomTarget validation machinary can be removed.
Fixes#9096
I ran into one of these from LGTM, and it would be nice if pylint could
warn me as part of my local development process instead of waiting for
the CI to tell me.
In commit 3c4c7d0429 the qresource
variable stopped being overwritten with a mesonlib.File, which is
reasonable. However, one call site for it which relied on being a built
file did not get renamed when needed.
Make the build target use the built file.
This works for `moc_*` and `ui_files`, but it never could have worked
for `qresources` due to the implementation assuming a `str` or `File`.
To restore previous compatibility I've added `CustomTarget` where it
would have worked, but not where it would have failed, the former would
raised an exception along the lines anyway.
Fixes#9007
`qt.preprocess` dispatches to the individual methods instead of
duplicating all of the logic itself, but this means that it goes through
the type checking, and feature checking a second time. To avoid this we
need to use a private helper method instead.
