This allow test-efi-disk.img to be created under meson.
The invocation of qemu is not converted yet, in particular because the
command-line used in Makefile.am is outdated.
This is more-or-less the same as dist-check-includes. meson doesn't exactly
make it easy to call a compiler with a custom set of options. The tests
are included in the test listing.
test-dlopen is a very simple binary that is only linked with libc and
libdl. From it we do dlopen() on the nss and pam modules to check that they are
linked to all necessary libs.
(meson-compiled nss modules are linked to less libraries, for whatever reason.
I suspected that some deps are missing, but it turns out that my suspicions
weren't justified, and the modules load just fine. Let's keep the test though,
it is very quick, and might detect missing linkage in the future.)
This simplifies things and leads to a smaller installation footprint.
libsystemd_internal and libsystemd_journal_internal are linked into
libystemd-shared and available to all programs linked to libsystemd-shared.
libsystemd_journal_internal is not needed anymore, and libsystemd-shared
is used everwhere. The few exceptions are: libsystemd.so, test-engine,
test-bus-error, and various loadable modules.
This doesn't feel as natural, but is more consistent with the boolean options
which require true/false, and allows setting of options without knowing of
which type the option is.
This is a very straightforward conversion of the rules in Makefile.am.
Generated objects (on arm64) are identical.
The only difference in executed commands is that automake uses ld -m
elf_x86_64, without us specifying the -m option anywhere. I suspect that
using the default for the given linker should be OK, so it's fine to just
skip it.
The tests are included under the conditional too, instead of specifying
'ENABLE_NETWORKD' in the test definition array, because libnetworkd_core
dependency is undefined if networkd is disabled.
This implementation assumes that the arguments in compiler.cmd_array()
don't contain any spaces. Since we are only interested in compilation
on Linux, I think this is a safe assumption.
Solution suggested by Nirbheek Chauhan.
(i.e. pretty much all of them). libtools does this automatically for us. It
would be great if meson did too. Otherwise, it would be nice to simply attach
the information about necessary rpath to the library object, and have it used
automatically for all users. Dunno, maybe there's already a way to do this.
I used '$ORIGIN' for stuff installed into libexecdir, since that's where
libshared ends up, and a full path for everything else. The advantage of
using $ORIGIN is that those binaries can be started from $DESTDIR, which can
sometimes be useful.
I tried to link to the right library by hand, because without
mesonbuid/meson#1545, libbasic.a is added to the link arguments. We want to
link the test with nothing but the library being tested. Doing the linking by
hand did achieve that, but it caused a bigger issue: meson didn't know about
the dependency on the library. And the dependency cannot be added using
link_depends, because "link_depends arguments must be strings...", and this
does not work with a compilation target. So just link in the usual way and
accept the overlinking (for now).
With mesonbuid/meson#1545, meson does not propagate deps of a library
when linking with that library. That's of course the right thing to do,
but it exposes a bunch of missing deps.
This compiles with both meson-0.39.1 and meson-git + pr/1545.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that files('libudev.h') cannot be used
as an argument in custom_target command (string is required). This restriction
should be lifted in future versions of mesons, so this could be simplified.
This is quite messy. I think libtool might have been using something
like -Wl,--whole-archive, but I don't think meson has support for that.
For now, just recompile all the sources for linking into libsystemd
directly. This should not matter much for efficiency, since it's a
few small files.
This is the equivalent of $(INSTALL_DIRS) and install-touch-usr-hook.
I did not bother to create the directories into which we install files,
since they will be created anyway.
v2:
- remove bashism
This is what autoconf-based build does, and it makes test-bus-error and
test-engine able to access the bus error mapping table. OTOH, this is a heavy
price to pay: it would be excellent to link libcore.a to libsystemd-shared-NNN.so.
Otherwise we duplicate the same code in 'systemd' and 'libsystemd-shared-NNN.so'.
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 4075544 Apr 6 20:30 systemd* <-- libcore linked against libsystemd-shared.so
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 5596504 Apr 9 14:07 systemd* <-- libcore linked against libsystemd-shared.a
v2:
- update for 6b5cf3ea62
This is pretty ugly, because I don't know how to use a single
definition for two purposes:
- --version-script needs a path relative to the build root
- link_depends needs a path relative to source root
Also, link_depends does not accept files() output
[https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1172], and I don't see a way to go
from files() output to a string path that can be used to craft the -Wl arg.
Ideally, a single files() result could be used in both places.
I'm leaving this as a separate commit for now.
Instead of a separate target as with make, it is decided at configure time
whether to install tests as part of the install target. The effect should be
the same.
Tests can be run with 'ninja-build test' or using 'mesontest'.
'-Dtests=unsafe' can be used to include the "unsafe" tests in the
test suite, same as with autotools.
v2:
- use more conf.get guards are optional components
- declare deps on generated headers for test-{af,arphrd,cap}-list
v3:
- define environment for tests
Most test don't need this, but to be consistent with autotools-based build, and
to avoid questions which tests need it and which don't, set the same environment
for all tests.
v4:
- rework test generation
Use a list of lists to define each test. This way we can reduce the
boilerplate somewhat, although the test listings are still pretty verbose. We
can also move the definitions of the tests to the subdirs. Unfortunately some
subdirs are included earlier than some of the libraries that test binaries
are linked to. So just dump all definitions of all tests that cannot be
defined earlier into src/test. The `executable` definitions are still at the
top level, so the binaries are compiled into the build root.
v5:
- tag test-dnssec-complex as manual
v6:
- fix HAVE_LIBZ typo
- add missing libgobject/libgio defs
- mark test-qcow2 as manual
Quite necessary for all the emacs users out there ;)
v2:
- fix error with etags or git are not found
v3:
- move the definition of git and etags up so it's available for man/
It's crucial that we can build systemd using VS2010!
... er, wait, no, that's not the official reason. We need to shed old systems
by requring python 3! Oh, no, it's something else. Maybe we need to throw out
345 years of knowlege accumulated in autotools? Whatever, this new thing is
cool and shiny, let's use it.
This is not complete, I'm throwing it out here for your amusement and critique.
- rules for sd-boot are missing. Those might be quite complicated.
- rules for tests are missing too. Those are probably quite simple and
repetitive, but there's lots of them.
- it's likely that I didn't get all the conditions right, I only tested "full"
compilation where most deps are provided and nothing is disabled.
- busname.target and all .busname units are skipped on purpose.
Otherwise, installation into $DESTDIR has the same list of files and the
autoconf install, except for .la files.
It'd be great if people had a careful look at all the library linking options.
I added stuff until things compiled, and in the end there's much less linking
then in the old system. But it seems that there's still a lot of unnecessary
deps.
meson has a `shared_module` statement, which sounds like something appropriate
for our nss and pam modules. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work. For the
nss modules, we need an .so version of '2', but `shared_module` disallows the
version argument. For the pam module, it also didn't work, I forgot the reason.
The handling of .m4 and .in and .m4.in files is rather awkward. It's likely
that this could be simplified. If make support is ever dropped, I think it'd
make sense to switch to a different templating system so that two different
languages and not required, which would make everything simpler yet.
v2:
- use get_pkgconfig_variable
- use sh not bash
- use add_project_arguments
v3:
- drop required:true and fix progs/prog typo
v4:
- use find_library('bz2')
- add TTY_GID definition
- define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__
- use join_paths(prefix, ...) is used on all paths to make them all absolute
v5:
- replace all declare_dependency's with []
- add more conf.get guards around optional components
v6:
- drop -pipe, -Wall which are the default in meson
- use compiler.has_function() and compiler.has_header_symbol instead of the
hand-rolled checks.
- fix duplication in 'liblibsystemd' library name
- use the right .sym file for pam_systemd
- rename 'compiler' to 'cc': shorter, and more idiomatic.
v7:
- use ENABLE_ENVIRONMENT_D not HAVE_ENVIRONMENT_D
- rename prefix to prefixdir, rootprefix to rootprefixdir
("prefix" is too common of a name and too easy to overwrite by mistake)
- wrap more stuff with conf.get('ENABLE...') == 1
- use rootprefix=='/' and rootbindir as install_dir, to fix paths under
split-usr==true.
v8:
- use .split() also for src/coredump. Now everything is consistent ;)
- add rootlibdir option and use it on the libraries that require it
v9:
- indentation
v10:
- fix check for qrencode and libaudit
v11:
- unify handling of executable paths, provide options for all progs
This makes the meson build behave slightly differently than the
autoconf-based one, because we always first try to find the executable in the
filesystem, and fall back to the default. I think different handling of
loadkeys, setfont, and telinit was just a historical accident.
In addition to checking in $PATH, also check /usr/sbin/, /sbin for programs.
In Fedora $PATH includes /usr/sbin, (and /sbin is is a symlink to /usr/sbin),
but in Debian, those directories are not included in the path.

- call all the options 'xxx-path' for clarity.
- sort man/rules/meson.build properly so it's stable
