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_DEVENVis defined to'1'.MESON_PROJECT_NAMEis defined to the main project's name.PKG_CONFIG_PATHincludes the directory where Meson generates-uninstalled.pcfiles.PATHincludes every directory where there is an executable that would be installed intobindir. On windows it also includes every directory where there is a DLL needed to run those executables.LD_LIBRARY_PATHincludes every directory where there is a shared library that would be installed intolibdir. This allows to run system application using custom build of some libraries. For example running system GEdit when building GTK from git. On OSX the environment variable isDYLD_LIBRARY_PATHandPATHon Windows.GI_TYPELIB_PATHincludes every directory where a GObject Introspection typelib is built. This is automatically set when usinggnome.generate_gir().
