Ran Benita 86434d84 2017-07-25T21:57:42 build: add meson build system Meson is easier to maintain, much faster, encourages better practices, and is not built on a pile of shell scripts. The autotools build system is kept intact for now, in order to ease the migration. The intention is to remove it sooner rather than later, if all goes well. Run `meson build && mesonconf build` to see the configuration options for the new system. Conversion should be straightforward. Environment variables like CFLAGS work the same. If meson is used, xorg-util-macros is not required. In terms of functionality the two systems have about the same capabilities. Here are some differences I noticed: - Meson uses `-g` by default, autotools uses `-g -O2`. - In autotools the default behavior is to install both static and shared versions of the libraries. In meson the user must choose exactly one (using -Ddefault_library=static/shared). It is possible to workaround if needed (install twice...), but hopefully meson will add the option in the future. - Autotools has builtin ctags/cscope targets, meson doesn't. Easy to run the tools directly. - Meson has builtin benchmarks target. Handy. - Meson has builtin support for sanitizers/clang-analyzer/lto/pgo/ coverage etc. Also handy.

Bryce Harrington af2c83b6 2016-09-15T14:31:55 README: Add basic build directions In particular, highlight the use of configure flags to control locating X11 keyboard stuff when building for Wayland. Of particular note, if the locale root is not specified, then xkbcommon will look for them under $prefix (i.e. /usr/local/share/X11/locale). But unless the user has specifically installed them there, it is better to look in the standard system location, /usr/share/X11/locale. Otherwise, xkbcommon will error when it can't find them, e.g.: xkbcommon: ERROR: ~/.XCompose:4:9: failed to expand %L to the locale Compose file xkbcommon: ERROR: ~/.XCompose:4:12: unterminated string literal Signed-off-by: Bryce Harrington <bryce@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Ran Benita <ran234@gmail.com>
