We were setting it to a file list that would always be wrong, and
always out of date since it would never exist.
However, the output list is not predictable. It usually has a 1-1
relationship with the input XML files, but it may not.
This must be fixed later with API for users to provide the output
names.
See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/3539
If we pass a source files() object, we will look for it in the build
directory, which is wrong. If we pass a build files() object (from
configure_file()), we will find it in the build directory, and then
try to copy it on top of itself in gtkdochelper.py getting a
SameFileError.
Add a test for it, and also properly iterate custom target outputs
when adding to content files.
The fix has landed upstream, and will be in the next glib stable
release. I have verified that it fixes the problem described in #3488
and that the 'frameworks/7 gnome' test passes now.
The new --body and --header args are broken because they do not allow
the use of --output-directory to set the correct `#include "foo.h"`
line in `foo.c`. The changes in the gdbus test case show this.
Disabled till this can be fixed in glib.
Closes https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3488
* gnome: If pkg-config is not found, assume glib is 2.0
Checking the pkg-config file to confirm tool versions is a hack, and
should eventually be replaced with checking the actual versions of the
tools.
* gnome: Actually assume glib version is 2.54 if not found
It is actually not possible to build most projects with the GNOME
module if your glib is older, particularly genmarshal and
gdbus-codegen generate unusable output without newer arguments that
were added for Meson.
The `install` parameter that is present in the `permittedKwargs`
annotation is wrong. The correct parameter name, which is also
consistent with the rest of functions in the `gnome` module, is
`install_dir`.
The `ct` variable used in the ModuleReturnValue is created only for
versions earlier than 2.55.2. However, in newer versions that
variable does not exist.
The development version of `glib` (2.55.2) has acquired support for
generating gdbus header and source code files separately. This
allows dependencies to be more fine grained on those targets
depending only on the header.
* Never install the glib-mkenums generated C source
When using gnome.mkenums_simple() we end up installing the generated
C source file alongside the C header file, if `install_header` is set
to True. This is caused by mkenums_simple() acting as a wrapper for
mkenums() without template files; mkenums() won't be able to know if
we're generating the header or the source, and will use the presence
of `install_header` as the deciding factor as to whether the generated
file should be installed.
When generating the C source file, we should always unset the
`install_header` option to False, just like mkenums() expects.
Closes#3373
* Verify that mkenums_simple() does not install C sources
When asked to installed the generated C header file.
The reason for this change is the same as the previous commit. Although
g-ir-scanner can pick arguments from CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS
environment variables by itself, it is still better for build systems
to put them on the command line instead of relying on users to setup
the same environment.
Since g-ir-scanner doesn't provide a way to set arbitrary linker flags
on the command line, arguments in LDFLAGS that are not started with -L
are not passed.
GLib-based libraries and applications require gettext library to compile
and link. On non-GNU systems such as FreeBSD, gettext is not included in
libc and it is required to pass '-L/usr/local/lib -lintl' to the linker
to satisfy the dependency on gettext. The pkg-config file provided by
GLib already has '-lintl', but users still have to remember to put
'-L/usr/local/lib' into LDFLAGS. If we don't pass LDFLAGS to
gtkdoc-scangobj, the linker will not be able to find '-lintl' when no
dependencies of the project provides '-L/usr/local/lib'.
Since all *FLAGS are commonly used in many build systems, this commit
adds support for not only LDFLAGS but also CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS.
Fixes#1724
The gtkdoc function can also use generated targets to create
documentation. However, the dependencies over these generated files
are missing, so these must be also included in the run target.
gnome's gtkdoc function does not support content files which are
not strings. However, there are situations where files generated
by other targets might be needed.
* mesonbuild/modules/gnome.py (GnomeModule.compile_schemas): Allow the
depend_files kwarg.
* docs/markdown/Gnome-module.md: Add docs for new kwarg (and the only
other one that is permitted).
Currently, run_target does not get namespaced for each subproject,
unlike executable and others. This means that two subprojects sharing
the same run_target name cause meson to crash.
Fix this by moving the subproject namespacing logic from the BuildTarget
class to the Target class.
This allows a CustomTarget to be indexed, and the resulting indexed
value (a CustomTargetIndex type), to be used as a source in other
targets. This will confer a dependency on the original target, but only
inserts the source file returning by index the original target's
outputs. This can allow a CustomTarget that creates both a header and a
code file to have it's outputs split, for example.
Fixes#1470
This also adds a "# noqa: F401" comment on an unused "import lzma",
which we are using it in a try/except block that is being used to
check if the lzma module is importable; of course it is unused.
v2: This turned out to be a little tricky.
mesonbuild/modules/__init__.py had the "unused" import:
from ..interpreterbase import permittedKwargs, noKwargs
However, that meant that the various modules could do things like:
from . import noKwargs # "." is "mesonbuild.modules"
Which breaks when you remove __init__.py's "unused" import. I
could have tagged that import with "# noqa: F401", but instead I
chose to have each of the module import directly from
"..interpreterbase" instead of ".".
Add new 'docbook' argument which generates Docbook documentation for
each D-Bus interface. The docbook argument will be used as prefix
in `PREFIX`-NAME.xml pattern, and NAME will be replaced by the D-Bus
interfaces.
