Users may wish to make use of these files for their own purposes.
For example, the -pot and -update-po pseudo targets could be reused in
an alias_target(), and at least one person wanted to reuse the built .mo
files as custom_target input.
Fixes#6227
Don't just create a .PHONY target which runs a script that magically
generates files ninja doesn't know about. It results in untracked files,
and `meson install` has to run additional commands instead of copying
over files, and then cannot track them to uninstall them later.
I'm not even really sure why it was originally done via a proxy script,
most likely bad legacy design. This is after all one of the oldest
modules...
One side effect of this is that meson doesn't know how to rename
build.CustomTarget files on install (only data files are supported?),
and every file needs to be installed as "domainname.mo" so it must be
named that in-tree too. To prevent clashes, every locale gets its own
locale-specific subdirectory.
Once we are doing that anyway, we can output them to the actual
structure required by the gettext family of functions, and
bindtextdomain() can therefore point to this location if desired. This
might be useful for running localized programs from the build tree.
Re-implement it in backend using the same code path as for
custom_target(). This for example handle setting PATH on Windows when
command is an executable.
On Windows this would fail because of missing DLL:
```
mylib = library(...)
exe = executable(..., link_with: mylib)
meson.add_install_script(exe)
```
The reason is on Windows we cannot rely on rpath to find libraries from
build directory, they are searched in $PATH. We already have all that
mechanism in place for custom_target() using ExecutableSerialisation
class, so reuse it for install/dist/postconf scripts too.
This has bonus side effect to also use exe_wrapper for those scripts.
Fixes: #8187
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
These are basically doing what mlog.log(..., once=True) does, so lets
just use that. The once argument to mlog is newer, so these probably
should have been changed already.
@permittedKwargs() is basically copying the logic of CustomTarget,
but it is not actually up to date, leading to warnings on perfectly
valid values such as 'build_by_default'.
Use CustomTarget.known_kwargs instead, and only append the specific
kwargs of i18n.merge_file().

using state.subdir will cause / or \ to be inserted into the target name.
Replace them with @ to future-proof it.

As it currently stands, if for whatever reason you have two files you
want to merge with the same output name, it will fail due to multiple
targets with the same name due to the target name being autogenerated
from the output kwarg.

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 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 ".".
Cache the absolute dir that the script is searched in and the name of
the script. These are the only two things that change.
Update the test to test for both #1235 and the case when a script of the
same name is in a different directory (which also covers the subproject
case).
Closes#1235
Many frameworks, such as glib, provide translation functions and
functions that take format strings. As such every application using
these must duplicate the gettext arguments to function properly.
This reduces that duplication and improves correctness so they are
not left out.
Fixes#1123
