7 years ago Basic support for swig could start with something like this:
swig = find_program('swig')
swig_gen = generator(
swig,
output: ['@BASENAME@.cxx'],
arguments: ['-c++', '-python', '-py3', '-o', './@OUTPUT@',
'-outdir', '.', '-I../src', '-MMD',
'@INPUT@'],
depfile: '@BASENAME@.d',
)
swig_sources = [
'wrapper/src/dataset.i',
'wrapper/src/commondata.i',
]
wrapper_deps = [
dependency('python'),
]
foreach swig_source: swig_sources
cpp_source = swig_gen.process(swig_source)
shared_library(
swig_source.split('.').get(-2),
cpp_source,
dependencies: dependencies + wrapper_deps,
install: true,
install_dir: 'lib/',
)
endforeachBut this has the following limitations:
- The output file in the target language is not tracked (i.e. dataset.py). Could there be output files of a generator that are not inputs of the subsequent step. If that were to be supported, there is still this problem with ninja: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ninja-build/4RK3vACeHG0
- The dataset.py file is generated in the top level build directory, because of the
-outdir .. Could there be some os.path functions such as basename, dirname and so on? - The lib directory is wrong. Is there a way to find the site-packages of the current python installation (import site; site.getsitepackages())?

I am using swig I'd like to get support of it in meson. It is not so trivial, but it is possible. I am using it in way: https://github.com/ignatenkobrain/libsmartcols-bindings/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt
