CI: gracefully handle jsonschema update requiring rust to build This has issues on Windows with msys2/cygwin, where we need to build it ourselves since binary wheels aren't supported on PyPI. And we don't have a rust compiler available for either one -- we may not be *able* to do so for cygwin? For msys2, the solution is pretty easy, just rely on the official msys2 packages for jsonschema, which handle both it and its dependencies for us and don't require us to compile anything. Currently they still have an older jsonschema that doesn't use rust deps at all, but that's because the new jsonschema was released today. We'll automatically catch up at some point. For cygwin, there is no rust compiler in the cygwin repository, and jsonschema there is old as the hills. I do not know if there's a good answer here, but an adequate answer is to cap jsonschema at the version we were testing with yesterday.
Meson is available on PyPi, so it can be installed with pip3 install meson. The exact command to type to install with pip can vary between systems, be sure to use the Python 3 version of pip.
If you wish you can install it locally with the standard Python command:
python3 -m pip install meson
For builds using Ninja, Ninja can be downloaded directly from Ninja GitHub release page or via PyPi
python3 -m pip install ninja
More on Installing Meson build can be found at the getting meson page.
Meson can be run as a Python zip app. To generate the executable run the following command:
./packaging/create_zipapp.py --outfile meson.pyz --interpreter '/usr/bin/env python3' <source checkout>
Meson requires that you have a source directory and a build directory and that these two are different. In your source root must exist a file called meson.build. To generate the build system run this command:
meson setup <source directory> <build directory>
Depending on how you obtained Meson the command might also be called meson.py instead of plain meson. In the rest of this document we are going to use the latter form.
You can omit either of the two directories, and Meson will substitute the current directory and autodetect what you mean. This allows you to do things like this:
cd <source root> meson setup builddir
To compile, cd into your build directory and type ninja. To run unit tests, type ninja test.
More on running Meson build system commands can be found at the running meson page or by typing meson --help.
We love code contributions. See the contribution page on the website for details.
The channel to use is #mesonbuild either via Matrix (web interface) or OFTC IRC.
More information about the Meson build system can be found at the project's home page.
