Developer environment

New method meson.add_devenv() adds an environment() object to the list of environments that will be applied when using meson devenv command line. This is useful for developpers who wish to use the project without installing it, it is often needed to set for example the path to plugins directory, etc. Alternatively, a list or dictionary can be passed as first argument.

devenv = environment()
devenv.set('PLUGINS_PATH', meson.current_build_dir())
...
meson.add_devenv(devenv)

New command line has been added: meson devenv -C builddir [<command>]. It runs a command, or open interactive shell if no command is provided, with environment setup to run project from the build directory, without installation.

These variables are set in environment in addition to those set using meson.add_devenv():

  • MESON_DEVENV is defined to '1'.
  • MESON_PROJECT_NAME is defined to the main project's name.
  • PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes the directory where Meson generates -uninstalled.pc files.
  • PATH includes every directory where there is an executable that would be installed into bindir. On windows it also includes every directory where there is a DLL needed to run those executables.
