## Can override find_program It is now possible to override the result of `find_program` to point to a custom program you want. The overriding is global and applies to every subproject from there on. Here is how you would use it. In master project ```meson subproject('mydep') ``` In the called subproject: ```meson prog = find_program('my_custom_script') meson.override_find_program('mycodegen', prog) ``` In master project (or, in fact, any subproject): ```meson genprog = find_program('mycodegen') ``` Now `genprog` points to the custom script. If the dependency had come from the system, then it would point to the system version. You can also use the return value of `configure_file()` to override a program in the same way as above: ```meson prog_script = configure_file(input : 'script.sh.in', output : 'script.sh', configuration : cdata) meson.override_find_program('mycodegen', prog_script) ```
