limit wrapped-due-to-env special case for `env` to only apply for env.set In commit 2cb7350d1679fb61826bf4aebfb0f75a9b9103e3 we added a special case for environment() objects to allow skipping `meson --internal exe` overhead when /usr/bin/env exists and can be used to set environment variables instead of using a pickled wrapper. This special case assumed that environment is used for setting variables, but it is also possible, albeit less common, to append/prepend to them, in which case `meson --internal exe` will compute the final value as an offset from whatever the current environment variables inherited from ninja are. It is not possible to precompute this when generating command lines for ninja, so using arguments to /usr/bin/env is not possible. All it can do is set (override) an environment variable. In this case, we have to use the python wrapper and cannot optimize it away. Add a tracking bit to the env object and propagate it to the backend.
Latest Meson version supporting previous Python versions:
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
.
