This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.
Alternative to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/17501
tested with:
$ mkdir inst build && cd build
$ meson \
-Dcreate-log-dirs=false \
-Dsysvrcnd-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/rc.d \
-Dsysvinit-path=$(realpath ../inst)/etc/init.d \
-Drootprefix=$(realpath ../inst) \
-Dinstall-sysconfdir=false \
--prefix=$(realpath ../inst) ..
$ ninja install
We had two of each: both homectl and journalctl had the whole dlopen()
wrapper, and journalctl had two implementations (slightly different) of the
code to print the fss:// pattern.
print_qrcode() now returns -EOPNOTSUPP when compiled with qrcode support. Both
callers ignore the return value, so this changes nothing.
No functional change.
Not everybody has those dirs in the filesystem (and they don't need to).
When creating an installation package using $DESTDIR, it is easy enough to
remove or ignore those directories, but if installing into a real root, it
is ugly to create and remove them. Let's add an option so people can skip
it if they want.
Inspired by #12930.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Instead of compiling those files twice, once for libsystemd and once for
libshared, compile once as a static archive and then link into both.
This reduce the meson target for man=no compile to 1291.
gcrypt_util_sources had to be moved because otherwise they appeared twice
in libshared.so halfproducts, causing an error.
-fvisibility=default is added to libbasic, libshared_static so that the symbols
appear properly in the exported symbol list in libshared.
The advantage is that files are not compiled twice. When configured with -Dman=false,
the ninja target list is reduced from 1588 to 1347 targets. The difference in compilation
time is small (<10%). I think this is because of -O0 and ccache and multiple cores, and
in different settings the compilation time could be reduced. The main advantage is that
errors and warnings are not reported twice.
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

+ manual changes to meson.build
squash! build-sys: use #if Y instead of #ifdef Y everywhere
v2:
- fix incorrect setting of HAVE_LIBIDN2
Cache client metadata, in order to be improve runtime behaviour under
pressure.
This is inspired by @vcaputo's work, specifically:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2280
That code implements related but different semantics.
For a longer explanation what this change implements please have a look
at the long source comment this patch adds to journald-context.c.

As side effect, this corrects the journal's rate limiter feature: we now
always use the unit name as key for the ratelimiter.
Using conf.set() with a boolean argument does the right thing:
either #ifdef or #undef. This means that conf.set can be used unconditionally.
Previously I used '1' as the placeholder value, and that needs to be changed to
'true' for consistency (under meson 1 cannot be used in boolean context). All
checks need to be adjusted.
Also detect libgpg-error. Require both to be present for HAVE_CRYPT,
even though libgpg-error is only used in src/resolve. If one is available,
the other should be too, so it doesn't seem worth the trouble to make two
separate conditions.
The indentation for emacs'es meson-mode is added .dir-locals.
All files are reindented automatically, using the lasest meson-mode from git.
Indentation should now be fairly consistent.
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 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.
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.
C.f. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1576.
- call all the options 'xxx-path' for clarity.
- sort man/rules/meson.build properly so it's stable
