It now also sets `QEMU_LD_PREFIX` to the +`sys_root` value from cross file if property is defined. That means that cross +compiled executables can often be run transparently on the build machine, for +example when cross compiling for aarch64 linux from x86_64 linux. + +A new argument `--workdir` has been added, by default it is set to build +directory. For example, `meson devenv -C builddir --workdir .` can be used to +remain in the current dir (often source dir) instead. + +`--dump` now prints shell commands like `FOO="/prepend/path:$FOO:/append/path"`, +using the litteral `$FOO` instead of current value of `FOO` from environment. +This makes easier to evaluate those expressions in a different environment. |
