Basically this breaks down into three cases. An open source version with
compliant PkgConfig, valid CMake, and a Intel implementation that has
completely broken PkgConfig. For the first two cases we can use standard
classes, for the last we can make a subclass of PkgConfigDependency that
handles the special logic.
This doesn't change any of the logic, but it does re-organize it to be
clearer, and make use of the dependency factory API, which makes other
things (like Dependency.get_variable) work.
This is untested with Intel MKL.
This comes pre-installed, but currently we don't have a way to detect it
without relying on pkg-config or cmake. This is only valid with the
apple clang-based compilers, as they do some special magic to get
headers.
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.
Scalapack uses a library stack that can be challenging to manage.
Not least of all since many Scalapacks ship with broken / incomplete
pkg-config files and CMake FindScalapack.cmake
This resolves those issues for typical Scalapack setups including:
* Linux: Intel MKL or OpenMPI + Netlib
* MacOS: Intel MKL or OpenMPI + Netlib
* Windows: Intel MKL (OpenMPI not available on Windows)
This addresses various real-world problems with HDF5 pkg-config, including
* hdf*.pc with package versions as part of the filename
* malformed hdf*.pc missing the commonly-used HDF5 HL module
---
Additionally, this refactors more complicated dependencies such as
HDF5 and OpenMPI. This may help us deduplicate internal dependency
code in the future.
HDF5 selftest: improve platform-agnostic test
ci: init demo github action for HDF5 framework
ci Actions: hold off on MSYS2 for now [skip ci]
hdf5: ensure C libraries always included
ci: mac hdf5--use clang+gfortran
We already have code to fetch and find binaries specified in a cross
file, so use the same code for exe_wrapper. This allows us to handle
the same corner-cases that were fixed for other cross binaries.
* add support for cups dependencies
libcups has its own cups-config tool rather than using pkg-config.
This adds support for cups-config, based on pcap-config and
sdl2-config implementations.
This change also includes the unit test case and documentation for
cups dependency object implementation, and libcups2 dep to CI image.
Libpcap has its own pcap-config tool rather than using pkg-config. Add
support for pcap-config, based on the existing implementation of
sdl2-config that is there already.
We prefer pkg-config files, though only OpenMPI supplies them.
Otherwise, check environment variables and search for wrappers and ask
them for what to do.
This class now consolidates a lot of the logic that each external
dependency was duplicating in its class definition.
All external dependencies now set:
* self.version
* self.compile_args and self.link_args
* self.is_found (if found)
* self.sources
* etc
And the abstract ExternalDependency class defines the methods that
will fetch those properties. Some classes still override that for
various reasons, but those should also be migrated to properties as
far as possible.
Next step is to consolidate and standardize the way in which we call
'configuration binaries' such as sdl2-config, llvm-config, pkg-config,
etc. Currently each class has to duplicate code involved with that
even though the format is very similar.
Currently only pkg-config supports multiple version requirements, and
some classes don't even properly check the version requirement. That
will also become easier now.
