Need to fix up some of the tests a little, because the
test binary will not necessarily be run from the current
build sub-directory, and the build directory structure
might not always be a mirror of the source directory
structure, so pass location of glib-mkenums and
glib-compile-scheme and such directly.
This reduces the build-time dependencies of glib to only Python 3,
Meson, and git. Git is also optional if you provide a tarball in
which the subproject directories already exist.
The Python port was done by Jussi Pakkanen on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779332
This version contains some fixes from that and also changes all
instances of `@` to `\u0040` because Meson does not yet provide a
configure_file() mode that ignores unknown @MACRO@ values.
This is a stub-only library that can be used while building against
MSVC and contains no i18n machinery at all.
The dependencies added indirectly use the libintl.h header, and when
built as a subproject, the header won't be in a path known the
pre-processor.
When no 'name:' kwarg is specified for cc.run, no output is printed.
This makes it difficult to figure out what is causing a pause in the
configure process.
By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
Don't use it project-wide for building everything. Otherwise
symbols for shared modules won't be exposed, e.g. in the
resourceplugin used by the gio resource unit test.
giomodule test needed symbol visibility pragmas added. This is needed on
Windows anyway, so it's better to do it this way rather than disabling
-fvisibility=hidden for the test modules.
Disable gio tests on Windows, fix .gitignore to not ignore
config.h.meson, and add more things to it.
Rename the library file naming and versioning to match what Autotools
outputs, e.g., libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2 on Linux, libglib-2.0-0.dll and
glib-2.0-0.dll on Windows with MSVC.
Several more tiny fixes, more executables built and installed, install
pkg-config and m4 files, fix building of gobject tests.
Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
This is to avoid confusion with the PYTHONPATH envvar that is commonly
used to determine where additional Python modules can be loaded,
especially in the case of a MSBuild build. Note that envvar names are
not case sensitive on Windows in general.
Non-representable characters during UTF16->locale conversion
will cause gcov code to return an error, for which it will try
to use gettext, so that the error message is localized.
If such call is made while gettext is being initialized
(there's a g_once_init_enter up the stack), the thread will hang forever.
To solve this, use W32 API to do the UTF16->locale conversion
and don't use gettext when it returns an error.
Also optimize g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8() a bit,
as we need more UTF16 and less UTF8 now.

gspawn-win32.c gets included by gspawn-win32-helper.c and in case
of a static build the definitions there clash with the ones from
libglib. Fixed by not compiling the ABI comapt code in case
GSPAWN_HELPER is defined.
I missed this issue in commit 23dffdd949https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780634
g_build_filename() returns a gchar*, but it was stored in a const gchar*
and then g_free()d, which is wrong and led to a warning about the const
qualifier being cast away.
Use conditionals to select the Python installation, so that we can more
stick to the default Visual Studio versions used to compile each
official Python releases more closely.
This means by default:
-2010/2012/2013 builds use Python 3.4.x, which is built with 2010
-2015/2017 builds use Python 3.6.x, which is built with 2015
glib-genmarshal is now a Python script instead of a compiled program, so
we need to:
-Remove the projects that are used to build the glib-genmarshal sources.
-Generate the full glib-genmarshal Python script from glib-genmarshal.in
-Make Python a hard build-time requirement, since we use this tool
in many parts of the stack (and it is the case for glib-mkenums).
-Tell people in the Visual Studio build README.txt files that Python
2.7.x or 3.x is now required for the build/"install".
