new wraps: glib, json-glib, libhandy, gtk #90

Closed tristan957 closed 4 years ago

tristan957 commented 5 years ago

The wrap files can be found here: https://git.sr.ht/~tristan957/harvest-almanac/tree/master/subprojects. They might need to be renamed to match pkg-config files however. The GTK wrap is interesting because they don't ship meson support in their tarball, so I am using their 3.24 branch (latest stable) which does include meson support. libhandy has no stable releases so I am just using the master branch.

It would be nice if these wraps matched pkgconfig filenames. Could you please provide links to individual project home directories and respective pkgconfig files? Thank you.

@sarum9in I can submit a PR if you would like. Would love to contribute what I put together so it can be used by others

Sorry for delay, looking now: https://github.com/mesonbuild/libhandy created

libgio_dep suggests that the name should be libgio? How is glib related to gio?

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gtk/meson.build#L1134 uses libgtk_dep, we probably should name libgtk also?

tristan957 commented 5 years ago

GLib is the over-arching repository which encompasses gobject, gio, gmodule, etc. I am not sure why the devs chose to name it that for its meson export.

libgtk seems reasonable to me. Maybe the wrap community should just standardize on {wrap_name}_dep.

About naming, glib ships four different libraries: libglib, libgobject, libgmodule, libgio. The pkg-config files are glib-2.0 gobject-2.0, gmodule-2.0, gio-2.0. libglib is the 'base' library, libgmodule depends on libglib, libgobject depends on libglib, and libgio depends on libgobject. You will want to make all four _dep variables available for projects to use.

For gtk, there's two things: gtk3 and gtk4. The gtk3 meson port is experimental, which is why it's not in the tarballs yet. gtk4 is meson-only and is being developed in parallel and is parallel-installable. However you should not link a project to both gtk3 and gtk4. The pkg-config files are called gtk+-3.0 and gtk4.

@nirbheek thank you for the lesson about glib and gtk.
