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) -``` |
