This makes the helper binaries significantly bigger (in some cases, the final
size depends on link options and optimization level), and is only useful for
distributions which want to provide the option to install udev without systemd.
As the linking is improved, the difference between the columns might shrink,
but it's unlikely that linking libshared statically could ever be more
efficient.
E.g. with -O0, no -flto:
(static) (shared)
src/udev/ata_id 999176 85696
src/udev/cdrom_id 1024344 111656
src/udev/collect 990344 81280
src/udev/scsi_id 1023592 115656
src/udev/v4l_id 811736 17744
When linked dynamically, install_rpath must be specified, so add that.
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.
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.
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 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'.

v2:
- update for 6b5cf3ea62
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
