2020-12-14mtest: only build what is needed for the testsPaolo Bonzini1-0/+17
It is a usual workflow to fix something and retest to see if it is fixed using a particular test. When tests start to become numerous, it becomes time consuming for "meson test" to relink all of them (and in fact rebuild the whole project) where the user has already specified the tests they want to run, as well as the tests' dependencies. Teach meson to be smart and only build what is needed for the test (or suite) that were specified. Fixes: #7473 Related: #7830
2020-12-11CI: Move all remaining jobs from travis-ci to GHAChristoph Reiter2-9/+0
Some changes: * Set HOME to /root, since github mounts its own HOME and 'wine' (because of permissions) and 'dub' (can't find packages) don't like that. * Remove the seccomp option, doesn't seem to be needed.

This fix a regression introduced in Meson 0.56.0 when using python 3.5. Also mention in documentation that using a meson dict does not guarantee ordering. Fixes: #8074.

2020-11-24compiler: allow non-built internal dependencies as argumentsPaolo Bonzini1-0/+6
Allow methods on the compiler object to receive internal dependencies, as long as they only specify compiler/linker arguments or other dependencies that satisfy the same requirements. This is useful if you're using internal dependencies to add special "-D" flags such as -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR, -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED or -DGLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION.

2020-11-22doc: fix confusing use of "build" as a directory argument [skip ci]Eli Schwartz3-9/+9
In most places, we now refer to "builddir/" which is a lot less likely to make people think it is a subcommand which needs to be used literally. This is a regression since commit 276d342ebaf859dd53e145ead3e98e2cebb360ab due to the existence of new docs which were added later on, using the wrong form.
2020-11-21Handle cmake dependencies which require a specified versionJason Ekstrand2-0/+10
Some CMake packages fail to find at all if no version is specified. This commit adds a cmake_version parameter to dependency() to allow you to specify the requested version.

2020-11-17doc: add much-needed accuracy to pip installation instructions [skip ci]Eli Schwartz1-2/+7
- mention installing from local sources, not PyPI - warn against --user installs, which too often screw up users that then cannot install projects because ~/.local won't be in sudo's PYTHONPATH - advise installing with sudo -- current versions of pip assume --user for you rather than failing with permission errors, which is great unless, like meson, there are compelling reasons to need to install as root

2020-11-05docs: Recommend to use SPDX license identifiers [skip ci]Michael Weiss1-7/+8
Some license identifiers are ambiguous (e.g. "GPL3"). The SPDX license identifiers avoid this by providing standardized and unique identifiers (e.g. "GPL-3.0-only" or "GPL-3.0-or-later" for the previous example). Because SPDX short-form identifiers are also both human- and machine-readable we should recommend them in the documentation. More information (advantages, details, etc.) can be found here: - https://spdx.dev/resources/use/#identifiers - https://spdx.dev/ids/ Fix #7905.
2020-11-05rust: implement support for --editionDylan Baker1-0/+5
Using the std option, so now `rust_std=..` will work. I've chosen to use "std" even though rust calls these "editions", as meson refers to language versions as "standards", which makes meson feel more uniform, and be less surprising. Fixes: #5100
2020-11-05docs: Fix broken anchor links [skip ci]Johan BjƤreholt1-2/+2
Apparently anchor links are case-sensitive and needs to be lowercase in hotdoc. Prior to this change the anchor links were uppercase so the link did not refer to the anchor tag. Likely that there are more occurrences around the docs than this, have not looked.

2020-10-13Merge wraps from subprojects into wraps from main projectXavier Claessens2-21/+11
wraps from subprojects are now merged into the list of wraps from main project, so they can be used to download dependencies of dependencies instead of having to promote wraps manually. If multiple projects provides the same wrap file, the first one to be configured wins. This also fix usage of sub-subproject that don't have wrap files. We can now configure B when its source tree is at `subprojects/A/subprojects/B/`. This has the implication that we cannot assume that subproject "foo" is at `self.subproject_dir / 'foo'` any more.

cmake: Cross compilation support
2020-10-13mtest: Allow filtering tests by subprojectNirbheek Chauhan1-0/+18
You could always specify a list of tests to run by passing the names as arguments to `meson test`. If there were multiple tests with that name (in the same project or different subprojects), all of them would be run. Now you can: 1. Run all tests with the specified name from a specific subproject: `meson test subprojname:testname` 1. Run all tests defined in a specific subproject: `meson test subprojectname:` Also forbid ':' in test names. We already forbid this elsewhere, so should not be a big deal.

Allow blocking/forcing automatic subproject search
2020-10-10Update wrap maintenance documentation. [skip ci]Jussi Pakkanen3-20/+32
2020-10-08dependency: support boolean argument "allow_fallback"Paolo Bonzini3-8/+27
Sometimes, distros want to configure a project so that it does not use any bundled library. In this case, meson.build might want to do something like this, where slirp is a combo option with values auto/system/internal: slirp = dependency('', required: false) if get_option('slirp') != 'internal' slirp = dependency('slirp', required: get_option('slirp') == 'system') endif if not slirp.found() slirp = subproject('libslirp', ...) .variable('...') endif and we cannot use "fallback" because the "system" value should never look for a subproject. This worked until 0.54.x, but in 0.55.x this breaks because of the automatic subproject search. Note that the desired effect here is backwards compared to the policy of doing an automatic search on "required: true"; we only want to do the search if "required" is false! It would be possible to look for the dependency with `required: false` and issue the error manually, but it's ugly and it may produce an error message that looks "different" from Meson's. Instead, with this change it is possible to achieve this effect in an even simpler way: slirp = dependency('slirp', required: get_option('slirp') != 'auto', allow_fallback: get_option('slirp') == 'system' ? false : ['slirp', 'libslirp_dep']) The patch also adds support for "allow_fallback: true", which is simple and enables automatic fallback to a wrap even for non-required dependencies.
2020-10-08docs: improve documentation of subproject fallbackPaolo Bonzini1-15/+34
Automatic fallback to subprojects is complicated and should be pointed out outside the "fallback" keyword argument. It is also surprising that fallback to a subproject will not happen if override_dependency has already been used with the request dependency. Document all this.
