Extend documentation on environment variables #583

Closed rgommers closed 4 months ago

rgommers commented 4 months ago

cross link to the tables of compiler/linker flags in the Meson docs
mention PKG_CONFIG_PATH
add a warning about Conda's habit of injecting env vars also on the environment variables reference page

Closes gh-460

CI failure is Sphinx version too old:

Running Sphinx v4.5.0

Sphinx version error:
The sphinxcontrib.applehelp extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v5.0; it therefore cannot be built with this version.

Will add a second commit for that.

Thanks @rgommers. I was indeed wondering why sphynx was pinned to such an old release. Just one more thing: maybe the commit messages should follow the usual convention and be prepended with DOC: and the remaining should not be capitalized.

Argh, forgot - fixed the commit messages now.
