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. - -``` meson -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. -- `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` includes every directory where there is a shared library that - would be installed into `libdir`. This allows to run system application using - custom build of some libraries. For example running system GEdit when building - GTK from git.
