Some distros (openSUSE) don't have group shadow support enabled. This can lead
to the following error:
# systemd-sysusers
Creating group foofoo with gid 478.
# systemd-sysusers
# groupdel foofoo
# systemd-sysusers
Creating group foofoo with gid 478.

This patch adds --disable-gshadow option to configure. If used,
systemd-sysvusers won't consider /etc/gshadow.
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.
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.
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.
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
This provides functionality similar to the ./configure --disable-manpages
switch. Man pages are built by default (if xsltproc is found), html pages
are not. Those default can be changed with -Dman=no, -Dhtml=yes/auto.
It is still possible to build one or the either, even if not configured, with
ninja-build man/man and ninja-build man/html.
v2:
- obey conditionals in index/directives list
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
