I hit an issue when building gtk-doc documentation. The issue is
my fault, but the error output from Meson makes it look like an
internal error:
[0/1] 'Running external command libtracker-sparql-doc.'

After this patch, the output is much clearer:
[0/1] 'Running external command libtracker-sparql-doc.'

1.25.1, they're only displayed in the example above because I made a
patch: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774812>
This defaults to not exporting resources as that is generally what
you want but that does make this a breaking change. Along with that
if you export your resources you would want to install the header.
The install argument is allowed for CustomTargets, but we use
install_header as the setting now. Also, setting a generic template when
specifying the more specific source or header template shouldn't be
allowed.
We currently pass cross-compiler options to the native compiler too and
when cross-compiling from Windows to Linux, `options` will contain
Linux-specific options which doesn't include `c_winlibs`.
The proper fix is to allow cross-info files to specify compiler options
and to maintain both cross and native compiler options in coredata, but
that will have to be done after the 0.36.0 release.
Also fixes a typo in MinGW cpp_winlibs option setting.
Closes#1029
qmake for both Qt4 and Qt5 detection was assuming that it was only used
on Windows, which is incorrect. It can also be used on Linux for
cross-compilation or in general when pkg-config is not available.
It was also not failing properly for both Qt5 and Qt4 when no libraries
were found, and was assuming that the .dll was always available.
Qt4 detection with qmake was also completely broken.
Also prevents unwanted injection of partially-found qt dependencies in
targets by unsetting self.cargs and self.largs
Earlier, we were never adding dependencies on other GirTargets that we
need. The dependency would only be added indirectly through other
BuildTargets such as SharedLibrary. Now we add all GirTargets specified
in the `dependencies :` kwarg to the list of dependencies of the
GirTarget that we generate.
Also, we weren't adding include directories for the typelib generation
command recursively. We were only adding it for the GirTargets listed
under the `dependencies :` kwarg to gnome.generate_gir. Now we search
all link targets, find GirTargets, extract the include dir, and use it.
In summation, dependencies were completely broken.
Move CCompiler.compile to Compiler.compile so that ValaCompiler can use
it. Also rewrite ValaCompiler.sanity_check to use it since it does
a simple compile check.
At the same time, it enhances ExternalLibrary to support arguments for
languages other than C-like.
Includes a test for this that links against zlib through Vala.
Closes#983
installation.
During a `python3.4 setup.py install`, the yelphelper.py script errors
out with: "SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment
target". Fix this problem.
Instead of using a whitelist, use a blacklist. Also print a more useful
error if the regex fails to match.
Use an underscore in the gir test to trigger this.
