We can immediately short-circuit if there is no destdir, as we simply
return the prefix unchanged.
If there is some kind of destdir and the prefix contains a drive letter,
then no matter what we need to remove the drive letter before joining.
Technically, if the destdir is a relative path e.g. `destdir\` and
`C:\prefix`, we should still install to `destdir\prefix` without the
drive letter.
But... we also guarantee that destdir is an absolute path (or empty)
anyway. And even if we didn't, non-absolute destdir is a broken concept
for a variety of complicated reasons. So none of this matters in
practice.
One way or another, we don't need to actually check whether destdir is
an absolute path before cutting off the prefix drive letter.
It's a bit annoying having to *manually* disable a workflow for forks,
because the scheduled build is a waste of time and also spammy.
On the other hand, having the workflow enabled is in general a good
thing, because it is in fact desirable to test it locally in forks.
In commit f291b637b1 the tools were moved
around but a comment got forgotten. Now, in order to be meaningful and
remind us of anything, it needs to be in a different location.
This has been broken ever since the original implementation. Due to a
typo, the optimization flag used a zero instead of an uppercase "o",
which the compiler then breaks on during argument parsing because it is
an invalid argument.
Fixes#10267
In print_options() k was a string instead of OptionKey, but
self.yielding_options expects OptionKey. Not sure how this has not been
catched by mypy.
Fix by keeping k as OptionKey which makes self.yielding_options useless.
Fixes: #9503
Although Qt6 has decided these are "internal" commands and should never
be run directly, so they don't get symlinked to /usr/bin at all, and are
only available in the qt_dep.bindir anyway.
But, the general naming pattern should be followed on principle.
Qt now has official guidance for the symlinked names of the tools, which
is great.
Qt now officially calls the tools `fooX` instead of `foo-qtX` where the
major version of Qt is X. Which is not great, because a bit of an
unofficial standard had prior art and now needs to change, and we never
adapted.
Prefer the official name whenever looking up qmake, and in the
testsuite, specifically look only for the official name on versions of
qt which we know should have that.
Fixes regression in commit c211fea513. The
original dependency lookup looked for `qmake-{self.name}`, i.e.
`qmake-qt5`, but when porting to config-tool, it got switched to
`qmake-{self.qtname}` i.e. `qmake-Qt6`, which was bogus and never
worked. As a result, if `qmake-qt5` and `qmake` both existed, and the
latter was NOT qt5, it would only try the less preferred name, and then
fail.
We need to define self.name early enough to define the configtool names,
which means we need to set it before running the configtool __init__()
even though configtool/pkgconfig would also set it to the same value.
Mark the tests as passing on two distros that were failing to detect
qmake due to this issue, and were marked for skipping because we assumed
that the CI skipping there was an expected case rather than an old
regression.
The "frameworks/4 qt" test covers Qt 4 and 5. There is already Qt 6 code
in the test but it is incomplete because translations are missing and Qt
6 requires C++17 or later to compile.
Qt 6.1 moved the location of some binaries from QT_HOST_BINS to
QT_HOST_LIBEXECS as noted in the changelog:
c515ee178f Move build tools to libexec instead of the bin dir
- Tools that are called by the build system and are unlikely to be
called by the user are now installed to the libexec directory.
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtreleasenotes.git/tree/qt/6.1.0/release-note.txt
It's possible to help the 'qt' module find the tools by adding Qt's
libexec directory to the PATH environment variable, but this manual
workaround is not ideal.
To compensate, meson now needs to look for moc, rcc, uic, etc. in
QT_HOST_LIBEXECS as well as QT_HOST_BINS.

Instead of reading intro-buildoptions.json, a giant json file containing
every option ever + its current value, use the private file that is
internally used by msetup for e.g. --wipe to restore settings.
This accurately tracks exactly the options specified on the command
line, and avoids lengthy summary messages containing all the overridden
defaults.
It also avoids passing potentially incompatible options, such as
explictly specifying -Dpython.install_env while also having a non-empty
-Dpython.{x}libdir
Fixes#10181
Running pyinstaller to create a bundle, and using the resulting
`pyinst-tmp/meson/meson setup ...` with the cmake module revealed that
no data files were being bundled, unlike what we did for setup.cfg. Fix
this oversight.
Fixes#10163
This moves generally useful logic from GNOME module's
_get_native_binary() into find_program() implementation. We could decide
later to expose it as public API.
We expose a reason after the string 'MESON_SKIP_TEST', but it is
actually ignored when running the test, so it is only useful as
documentation and really might as well be a comment.
Make it even more useful by actually printing that string after the
'[SKIPPED]' message.
Also, sometimes a test can be skipped for multiple reasons, and it would
be useful to know which one occurred.
msys/python in MSYS2 pretends to be cygwin in all cases for some time
now, so this check was impossible to hit.
The underlying confusion it tried to prevent is still there, namely trying
to build with mingw but wrongly using a msys/cygwin python/meson.
We can use the MSYSTEM env var to detect if we are in a mingw shell, and
in case the Python doesn't match we suggest installing mingw variants of both
python and meson.
Using msys/python + meson in a MSYS environment works fine on the other hand,
so no need to error out in that case.
Fixes#8726

It isn't possible to have one target depend on a run_target, because
those produce no outputs and are always out of date. But the docs didn't
specify which types of target are valid here.
Correct the docs to align with the implementation.
Fixes#10198
They are RunTargets because they are one-shot commands without outputs.
But we implement them purely via our internal wrapper for gettext, so
there is no reason to wrap them *again* in our internal wrapper for
meson_exe and set a bunch of environment variables we know we absolutely
do not need, use, or want.
This avoids the ugly "wrapped due to env" status, and allows users to
directly see the command being run without going into despair at obscure
pickled nonsense.
It also offers a tiny defense against upgrading Meson without
reconfiguring. People should not do that, and we error out about this in
a bunch of places, but `--internal gettext` has a perfectly stable
interface just like most build tools that aren't part of Meson
internals, since it uses command line arguments instead of pickling.
Forcing serialization on when writing out the build rule makes very
little sense. It was always "forced" on because we mandated a couple of
environment variables due to legacy reasons.
Add an attribute to RunTarget to say that a given target doesn't *need*
those environment variables, and let ninja optimize them away and run
the command directly if set.
In commit 823da39909 we tried to fix
disappearing dependencies. Instead, we appended the replacement
dependencies to the existing ones. But this, too, was wrong. The
function doesn't return new dependencies... it returns a copied list
of all the dependencies, then alone of all parts of that API, expects to
overwrite the existing variable.
(Sadly, part of the internals actually uses the entire list for
something.)
As a result, we produced a repeatedly growing list, which eventually
scaled really badly and e.g. OOMed on gstreamer.
Instead, let's just replace the dependencies with the updated copy.
