Meson: Usando um projeto git sem meson.build como dependência

Eventualmente você vai achar um projeto bacana que não usa meson.build e o mantenedor demora anos para aceitar PR, se algum dia for.

Ou mesmo seu projeto está em contrato para sempre adicionar a LICENSE em todas as builds e o mantenedor se recusa.

Para resolver esse pepino você pode adicionar aos seus subprojects/*.wrap git patches.

Por exemplo, no meu projeto - onur - por ser uma pequena ferramenta CLI prefiro usar o ht do grande Hoyt ao invés do enorme GNOME glib, mas este projeto git não tem uma meson.build.

Uma simples wrap-git para esse projeto, que sequer tem tags também, seria usando o master:

./subprojects/ht.wrap

[wrap-git]
directory=ht
url=https://github.com/benhoyt/ht
revision=master
depth=1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Primeiro vamos pegar todos subprojetos meson subprojects download, e adicionar a meson.build na raiz deste:

./subprojects/ht

cat <<EOF | tee -a ./subprojects/ht/meson.build
project('ht', 'c', version: '1.0')

ht_sources = [
    'ht.c',
    'ht.h',
]

ht_lib = static_library('ht', ht_sources)

ht_dep = declare_dependency(
    include_directories: include_directories('.'),
    link_with: ht_lib)
EOF

cat ./subprojects/ht/meson.build
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

e criar o patch com:

mkdir -pv subprojects/{packagecache,packagefiles}
git -C ./subprojects/ht add meson.build
git -C ./subprojects/ht diff --cached > ./subprojects/packagefiles/ht-meson.patch
cat ./subprojects/packagefiles/ht-meson.patch
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

uma vez com o patch devemos apontar sua presença ao ht.wrap:

echo "diff_files = ht-meson.patch" >> ./subprojects/ht.wrap
cat ./subprojects/ht.wrap
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Pronto, vamos aplicar o patch:

meson subprojects purge --confirm
meson subprojects download
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

e compilar o projeto para confirmar:

CC=gcc meson setup ./build --wipe -D b_sanitize=none -D buildtype=release
meson compile -C ./build
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

O executável vai aparecer em ./build como esperado.

Valeu!
