| ## New custom dependency for libintl |
| |
| Meson can now find the library needed for translating messages via gettext. |
| This works both on systems where libc provides gettext, such as GNU or musl, |
| and on systems where the gettext project's standalone intl support library is |
| required, such as macOS. |
| |
| Rather than doing something such as: |
| |
| ``` |
| intl_dep = dependency('', required: false) |
| |
| if cc.has_function('ngettext') |
| intl_found = true |
| else |
| intl_dep = cc.find_library('intl', required: false) |
| intl_found = intl_dep.found() |
| endif |
| |
| if intl_found |
| # build options that need gettext |
| conf.set('ENABLE_NLS', 1) |
| endif |
| ``` |
| |
| one may simply use: |
| |
| ``` |
| intl_dep = dependency('intl') |
| |
| if intl_dep.found() |
| # build options that need gettext |
| conf.set('ENABLE_NLS', 1) |
| endif |
| ``` |
