If LLVM is built from a git mirror instead of from SVN it will have
"git-<very short sha>" at the end of the version. We need to remove that
so that version comparison will work correctly.
Fixes: #2786
The example provided for the `get_pkgconfig_variable` when using using the `define_variable` parameter is not the best example, because it is using `prefix` for both. This changes the retrieved variable for `libdir` so the efect of the variable redefinition is more noticeable.
Meson is able to redefine variables when retrieving them from
`pkg-config` dependencies. However, the documentation is missing.
This patch adds documentation for this feature.
Using NotImplementedError throws an ugly traceback to the user which
does not print the line number and other information making it
impossible to figure out what's causing it.
Also override it for internal dependencies because self.name is "null"
for them.
The sysconfig config variables are different on MSYS2 and the paths
are also different. We now also use the full path to the import or
static library instead of using -Lfoo -lpython35 etc.
Also obey the value of the 'static' keyword argument.
sysconfig.get_platform() returns 'mingw' with MSYS2, so we need to
use some other method; in this case I chose to use the CC that
Python was compiled with, which is a relatively reliably indicator
unless people start using Python on Windows compiled with Clang or
something.
/usr/bin/env does not exist on Haiku since there's no /usr. The actual
location is /bin/env. Detect that case and directly use the
interpreter being passed to `env` in the shebang.
Also reorganize the Windows special cases which does the same thing.
The MinGW toolchain can read MinGW paths, but Python cannot and we
sometimes need to parse the libs and cflags manually (for static-only
library searching, for instance). The MinGW toolchain can always read
Windows paths with `/` as path separater, so just use that.
The .a library was being built with `ar` which is not the right
static archiver, it's supposed to be something like
x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar or whatever the target-triple is.
Try using the built-in static linker detection instead of doing it
manually.
Also try harder to find a compiler that dependencies can use.
This means that in C++-only projects we will use the C++ compiler for
compiler checks, which can be important.
We can't know if the .lib is a static or import library, but that's
a problem in general too. The only way to figure out if a specific
file is an import or a static library is to dump its symbols and check
if it starts with __imp or not.
Even then, some libs are hybrid import and static, i.e., they contain
references to DLLs for some symbols and also provide implementations
for other symbols so this is a difficult problem.
