This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to
the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required.
One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config
files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs.
For example : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/269Fixes#4011
The documentation for this change was left out of its implementation in
commit b4aee4675a and was later documented
in commit f831c05b55 as if it had always
existed.
- Add libraries from InternalDependency.libraries
- Deprecate association of libraries from the "libraries" keyword
argument to the generated pkg-config file.
Almost every keyword documented here takes this form:
- `foo` bar
with no comma after the keyword. Make `filebase` consistent, and fix a
comma splice.
Fix 'Arbitraty' typo in `libraries` documentation.
Usage:
pkgconfig.generate(
...
description : 'A library with custom variables.',
variables : ['foo=bar', 'datadir=${prefix}/data']
)
The variables 'prefix', 'libdir' and 'includedir' are reserved, meson will
fail with an error message.
Variables can reference each other with the pkgconfig notation, e.g.
variables : ['datadir=${prefix}/data',
'otherdatadir=${datadir}/other']
meson does not check this for correctness or that the referenced variable
exists, we merely keep the same order as specified.
This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.
