2022-02-09meson: Allow directory options outside of prefixJan Tojnar2-1/+15
This bring us in line with Autotools and CMake and it is useful for platforms like Nix, which install projects into multiple independent prefixes. As a consequence, `get_option` might return absolute paths for some directory options, if a directory outside of prefix is passed. This is technically a backwards incompatible change but its effect should be minimal, thanks to widespread use of `join_paths`/`/` operator and pkg-config generator module. It should only cause an issue when a path were constructed by concatenating the value of directory path option. Also remove a comment about commonpath since we do not use that since <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/commit/00f5dadd5b7d71c30bd7393d165a87f554eb92e5>. Fixes: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2561

2022-02-01cmake: add arch_independent kwargAndrea Pappacoda2-1/+10
CMake's write_basic_package_version_file has supported since version 3.14 an ARCH_INDEPENDENT option that makes it skip its architecture check in the Version file. With this patch Meson now supports it as well, and the change is also compatible with older CMake versions, as they will simply ignore the option. This also slightly changes the contents of the generated Version file when arch_independent is not set: previously, the if() needed to skip the arch check was always filled with an empty string, while CMake puts "FALSE" (or "TRUE") in it. Now, that if() will always be filled with either "False" or "True", better matching CMake's behaviour.
2022-02-01minstall: stop running ldconfig for the userEli Schwartz1-0/+5
This was a nice idea in theory, but in practice it had various problems: - On the only platform where ldconfig is expected to be run, it is really slow, even when the user uses a non-default prefix and ldconfig doesn't even have permission to run, nor can do anything useful due to ld.so.conf state - On FreeBSD, it bricked the system: #9592 - On cross builds, it should not be used and broke installing, because ldconfig may not be runnable without binfmt + qemu: #9707 - it prints weird and confusing errors in the common "custom prefix" layout: #9241 Some of these problems can be or have been fixed. But it's a constant source of footguns and complaints and for something that was originally supposed to be just "it's the right thing to do anyway, so just do it automatically" it is entirely too risky. Ultimately I do not think there is justification for keeping this feature in since it doesn't actually make everyone happy. Better for users to decide whether they need this themselves. This is anyways the case for cmake and autotools and generally any other build system, so it should not be too intimidating... Fixes #9721

2022-01-15gnome.genmarshal: restore the ability to pass sources as Files objectsEli Schwartz1-2/+1
It used to support: - a single string - an array of anything And as long as CustomTarget supported it too, everything worked fine. So, a `files('foo')` worked but a `files('foo')[0]` did not, which is silly... and it's not exactly terrible to use files() here, the input is literally a list of source files.

2022-01-10remove the RPM moduleEli Schwartz2-16/+10
It is unmaintained, broken (frequently for long periods of time) and not really required for any meson functionality. Its purpose is to be used as a one-shot tool for creating a distro package recipe, and then deleted from your meson.build files. Due to its fragile dependency on coredata implementation details, we cannot assume it will reliably work, or continue to work, without someone who is actively willing to take responsibility for it. Even if that were to happen, this might be better off as an external script that parses introspection data. Closes #9764 Closes #9763

This is another toolchain also called `armclang`, but it is not a cross compiler like Keil's `armclang`. It is essentially the same as `clang` based on its interface and CMake's support of the toolchain. Use an `armltd` prefix for the compiler ID. Fixes: #7255

Add ability to mutate a target's `extra_files` list through the rewriter. The logic is copied from sources add/rm, but changes the `extra_files` kwarg instead of the sources positional argument. Has additional logic to handle creating the `extra_files` list if it doesn't exist.
2021-12-07gnome/genmarshal: Add missing kwargs to permittedKwargsDylan Baker1-7/+12
There are thee arguments that are passed directly to CustomTarget which are not in the permittedKwargs: depends, depend_files, and build_always. The first two are obviously generically useful, as they allow creating correct ordering. The latter, not so much. Since it was an error to pass it, we'll just delete it.
2021-12-06gnome module: document and fix install_dir x3, by allowing false *_gir and ↵Eli Schwartz1-2/+2
*_typelib generate_gir forces building both the typelib and gir, and some people only want one or the other (probably only the typelib?) which means flagging the other as install_dir: false in the same way custom_target supports. As this always worked, albeit undocumented, make sure it keeps working. It's pretty reasonable to allow, anyway. Fixes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9484#issuecomment-980131791
