=== Integration of Meson-based packages

==== +meson-package+ tutorial
|
|
|
|
http://mesonbuild.com[Meson] is an open source build system meant to be both
|
|
extremely fast, and, even more importantly, as user friendly as possible.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot does not (yet) provide a dedicated package infrastructure for
|
|
meson-based packages. So, we will explain how to write a +.mk+ file for such a
|
|
package. Let's start with an example:
|

|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Makefile starts with the definition of the standard variables for package
|
|
declaration (lines 7 to 11).
|
|
|
|
As seen in line 47, it is based on the
|
|
xref:generic-package-tutorial[+generic-package+ infrastructure]. So, it defines
|
|
the variables required by this particular infrastructure, where Meson and its
|
|
companion tool, Ninja, are invoked:
|
|
|
|
* +FOO_CONFIGURE_CMDS+: the build directory required by Meson is created, and
|
|
Meson is invoked to generate the Ninja build file. The options required to
|
|
configure the cross-compilation of the package are passed via
|
|
+FOO_CONF_OPTS+.
|
|
|
|
* +FOO_BUILD_CMDS+: Ninja is invoked to perform the build.
|
|
|
|
* +FOO_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS+: Ninja is invoked to install the files generated
|
|
during the build step in the target directory.
|
|
|
|
* +FOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+: Ninja is invoked to install the files generated
|
|
during the build step in the staging directory, as +FOO_INSTALL_STAGING+ is
|
|
set to "YES".
|
|
|
|
In order to have Meson available for the build, +FOO_DEPENDENCIES+ needs to
|
|
contain +host-meson+. In the example, +host-pkgconf+ and +bar+ are also
|
|
declared as dependencies because the Meson build file of +foo+ uses `pkg-config`
|
|
to determine the compilation flags and libraries of package +bar+.
|
|
|
|
If the "baz" package is selected, then support for the "baz" feature in "foo"
|
|
is activated by adding +-Dbaz+ to +FOO_CONF_OPTS+, as specified in the
|
|
+meson_options.txt+ file in "foo" source tree.
|
|
|
|
To sum it up, to add a new meson-based package, the Makefile example can be
|
|
copied verbatim then edited to replace all occurences of +FOO+ with the
|
|
uppercase name of the new package and update the values of the standard
|
|
variables.
