From c2e6565029779b749dc3423291524115af1b2bd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael Hirsch, Ph.D" Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2019 09:26:55 -0500 Subject: add meson.get_native_property for native files This allows Meson native-file [properties] to be used. This avoids the need to call meson from a script file or have a long command line invocation of `meson setup` The method meson.get_native_property('prop', 'fallback') is added. The native file can contain properties like ``` [properties] myprop1 = 'foo' mydir2 = 'lib/custom' ``` Then from within `meson.build` ```meson x1 = meson.get_native_property('myprop1') thedir = meson.get_native_property('mydir2', 'libs') ``` fallback values are optional --- docs/markdown/snippets/native_property.md | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/markdown/snippets/native_property.md (limited to 'docs/markdown/snippets') diff --git a/docs/markdown/snippets/native_property.md b/docs/markdown/snippets/native_property.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6c49e80 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/markdown/snippets/native_property.md @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +## Native file properties + +As of Meson 0.53.0, the `--native-file foo.txt` can contain: + +* binaries +* paths +* properties + +which are defined and used the same way as in cross files. +The `properties` are new for Meson 0.53.0, and are read like: + +```meson +x = meson.get_native_property('foobar', 'foo') +``` + +where `foobar` is the property name, and the optional `foo` is the fallback string value. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.1
