It appears that this requires a local install of google test now? Previously we downloaded and compiled it as part of UxAS.
Hmm, it should be using Meson's built-in wrap if it doesn't find it locally. I'll investigate and revert if that's not happening
This set of patches updates the Meson build files to accommodate two new use cases:
The main mechanism for accomplishing both of these is to turn all third-party dependencies into proper Meson
dependency
objects, rather than using a mix ofdependency
andlibrary
objects as before. This means that Meson will first look for system-installed packages (viapkg-config
) before falling back to wrapped dependencies.The Docker infrastructure takes advantage of this by installing as many distro-provided packages as possible, and then supplementing them with manually-installed dependencies (in
/usr/local
).The
deploy
Docker image is larger than before, as it now includes the shared library variants of these system packages, which for Ubuntu is rather large. It is possible to use a different Linux distribution to reduce this size (see themeson-rework-alpine
branch), but it's not clear whether that is worth leaving the familiar environment of a Debian-based image.(@SteveRas: I added you as a reviewer here more as an FYI than as a hard request on your time.)
