2021-03-06minstall: Correctly set uid/gid of installed filesPeter Kjellerstedt
In commit caab4d3d, the uid and gid arguments passed to os.chown() by set_chown() were accidentally swapped, causing files to end up with incorrect owner/group if the owner and group are not the same. Also update the documentation to better indicate which argument to install_mode is which. Signed-off-by: Peter Kjellerstedt <peter.kjellerstedt@axis.com>

Rather than having to manually build the locale aware man paths with `install_data('foo.fr.1', install_dir: join_paths(get_option('mandir'), 'fr', 'man1'), rename: 'foo.1')` Support doing `install_man('foo.fr.1', locale: 'fr')`

2021-02-26meson: add .has_external_property() methodsTim-Philipp Müller
Useful in case of boolean values to distinguish between a boolean value having been set in the native/cross file and not having been provided, which can't be achieved by passing a fallback parameter to .get_external_property().
2021-02-26Add Rizin to the list of meson usersRiccardo Schirone
2021-02-25deprecated `meson.get_cross_property`Dylan Baker
It's a pure subset of `get_external_property`, and has odd behavior in host == build configurations. `get_external_property` is clear, and uses the standard `native : bool` syntax to control host vs build properties

2021-02-22minstall: Add --skip-subprojects optionXavier Claessens
By default all subprojects are installed. If --skip-subprojects is given with no value only the main project is installed. If --skip-subprojects is given with a value, it should be a coma separated list of subprojects to skip and all others will be installed. Fixes: #2550.

2021-02-17Substitute @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ in run_target() and custom_target()Xavier Claessens
run_target() does some variable substitutions since 0.57.0. This is a new behavior, and undocumented, caused by sharing more code with custom_target(). More consistency is better, so document it now. custom_target() was doing variable substitution in the past, because it shared some code with generator(), but that was undocumented. Some refactoring in 0.57.0 caused it to not replace @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@, @SOURCE_DIR@, and @BUILD_DIR@ anymore. This patch adds back @CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR@ and document it. It does not add back @SOURCE_DIR@ because it is duplicate with @SOURCE_ROOT@ that has a better name. Also do not add back @BUILD_DIR@ which is duplicate of @PRIVATE_DIR@, and not @BUILD_ROOT@ surprisingly, adding to the confusion.

2021-02-07Make installing non-existing subdirs a supported featurePeter Hutterer
install_subdir() with a non-existing subdir creates the directory in the target directory. This seems like an implementation detail but is quite useful to create new directories for e.g. configuration or plugins in the installed locations. git bisect says this started with 8fe816101467e66792251b4f57e0ddddb537764a. Let's add a test for it and document it to make this behavior official. Limitation: it can only create at the install_dir location, trying to create nested subdirectories does not work and indeed creates the wrong directory structure. That is a bug that should be fixed separately: install_subdir('blah', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) install_subdir('sub/foobar', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) install_subdir('foo/baz', install_dir: get_option('prefix')) $ tree ../_inst ../_inst ├── baz ├── blah └── foobar Fixes #2904

2021-02-06rust: Add a module wrapper for bindgenDylan Baker
This has a couple of advantages over rolling it by hand: 1. it correctly handles include_directories objects, which is always handy 2. it correctly generates a depfile for you, which makes it more reliable 3. it requires less typing

2021-02-05vala: Disable unity buildsDylan Baker
Our approach to unity builds with vala is broken, you cannot unify the generated C files, as they contain duplicate symbols. We would need to instead combine the files while they are still in their vala form, then convert that to C and compile the unified C file. This does not fix the linked issue, as this removed the ability to do vala unity builds, but it does allow running vala with `--unity=on`. Related: #5280
2021-02-05run_target: Add env kwargXavier Claessens
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.
2021-02-05gnome: Add post_install() methodXavier Claessens
Various GNOME projects have scripts that does similar task, better do it directly in meson. This ensures it's done correctly regarding usage of subprojects and pkg-config. See for example this gtk bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3626. Fixes: #8268
2021-02-04Introduce `fs.read` to read a file as a stringLuke Drummond
Following #7890, this patch introduces the ability to read the contents of a file to the fs module. This patch introduces the ability to read files at configure time, but has some restrictions: - binary files are not supported (I don't think this will prove a problem, and if people are wanting to do something with binary files, they should probably be shelling out to their own script). - Only files outside the build directory allowed. This limitation should prevent build loops. Given that reading an arbitrary file at configure time can affect the configuration in almost arbitrary ways, meson should force a reconfigure when the given file changes. This is non-configurable, but this can easily be changed with a future keyword argument.

2021-02-02compilers: Add support for using multiple threads with ltoDylan Baker
Both Clang and GCC support using multiple threads for preforming link time optimizaions, and they can now be configured using the `-Db_lto_threads` option. Fixes #7820
2021-02-02interpreter, mtest: introduce add_test_setup(exclude_suites: ...)Paolo Bonzini
This new keyword argument makes it possible to run specific test setups only on a subset of the tests. For example, to mark some tests as slow and avoid running them by default: add_test_setup('quick', exclude_suites: ['slow'], is_default: true) add_test_setup('slow') It will then be possible to run the slow tests with either `meson test --setup slow` or `meson test --suite slow`.

2021-01-30add_install_script: add skip_if_destdir kwargXavier Claessens
It is common, at least in GNOME projects, to have scripts that must be run only in the final destination, to update system icon cache, etc. Skipping them from Meson ensures we can properly log that they have not been run instead of relying on such scripts to to it (they don't always).
