Especially, `shortname` kwarg and +`os2_emxomf` builtin option are introduced. + +`shortname` is used to specify a short DLL name fitting to a 8.3 rule. + +```meson +lib = library('foo_library', + ... + shortname: 'foo', + ... +) +``` + +This will generate `foo.dll` not `foo_library.dll` on OS/2. If +`shortname` is not used, `foo_libr.dll` which is truncated up to 8 +characters is generated. + +`os2_emxomf` is used to generate OMF files with OMF tool-chains. + +``` +meson setup --os2-emxomf builddir +``` + +This will generate OMF object files and `.lib` library files. If +`--os2-emxomf` is not used, AOUT object files and `.a` library files are +generated. |
