On +systems that support rpath, Meson automatically adds rpath entries +to built targets using manually found external libraries. + +This means that e.g. supporting prebuilt libraries shipped with your +source or provided by subprojects or wrap definitions by writing a +build file like this: + + project('myprebuiltlibrary', 'c') + + cc = meson.get_compiler('c') + prebuilt = cc.find_library('mylib', dirs : meson.current_source_dir()) + mydep = declare_dependency(include_directories : include_directories('.'), + dependencies : prebuilt) + +Then you can use the dependency object in the same way as any other. |
