Since version 0.49.0 the Meson build system has native support for
looking for `libgcrypt-config` if no pkg-config file is found. As the
latest version 1.8.4 of libgcrypt does not provide a .pc file, using
`libgcrypt-config` is the only way for detecting the required libraries
when linking agains libgrypt.

The `libgcrypt-config` entry is necessary for updating package mpd,
which switched from the Autotools to the Meson build system when bumping
from version 0.20 to 0.21.

Hm, this is a bit annoying. We really have no other solution but to
pass this through cross-compilation.conf ? It cannot be passed on the
meson command line, on a per-package basis, like we do for the autotools ?

Thanks,

I am not a Meson expert, but I did not find any options howto pass
libgcrypt-config path through the command line.

As I said in my previous reply, I'm not too happy with this
libgcrypt-config variable creeping into the global cross-compilation
file. Can we instead look at extending what Peter Seiderer is doing in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1081486/ and allow some per-package
additions to the per-package cross-compilation file ? Peter's patch
does it for CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS, we could perhaps do the same with
arbitrary program paths ?

Thanks!

Something like the following (draft) should work:

Looks good to me. I will test and send an updated patch if Thomas
agrees.

I've just tested your draft. This still inserts libgcrypt-config in the
global cross-compilation.conf.

I will send an updated version of the patch which does insert
libgcrypt-config in the package cross file, but not in the global cross
file.

Many thanks!

Are you sure? The

+           -e "s%@PKG_TARGET_BINARIES@%%g"

in package/meson/meson.mk should not add anything to the global file...

Would have expected the trick/non-trivial thing to add more than one
binary entry (to get the newlines for the entries right)...

You're right! I missed that line, sorry.

That's indeed a difficult case to solve. I didn't managed to get
multpile binary entries added to the [binaries] field, e.g.

PKG_TARGET_BINARIES = \
	libgcrypt-config = '...' \
	llvm-config = '...'

.. will not work.

I spent some time to find a magic rule which splits the Makefile
variable into a proper newline seperated string which can be used by
sed, but I failed.

Maybe you have an idea?

 Instead of sed, use the PRINTF macro and append to the file:

	$Q$$(if $$($$(PKG)_TARGET_BINARIES),\
		$$(call PRINTF,$$($$(PKG)_TARGET_BINARIES)) \
		>> $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-compilation.conf


 Completely unrelated to this, but I notice now some things in that pkg-meson.mk
that make me wonder what our coding style is in pkg-infra.mk files... Adding
Yann and Eric in Cc for that.

- We usually use $(2), but here it's $$(PKG). Recently there was a patch that
changed the $(PKG) back to $(2) in the download infra. So I think we really
should be using $(2).

- meson infra builds in PKG_SRCDIR/build. That really should be PKG_BUILDDIR,
with a default of $(2)_BUILDDIR ?= $$($(2)_SRCDIR)/build.

- I don't think it's appropriate to generate the cross-compilation.conf file in
 PKG_BUILDDIR. I think it should be at top level, i.e. $(@D).

Simple appending will not work, the extra binaries must be under the '[binaries]'
section (maybe reordering the sections in the cross-compilation.conf.in template
will work), does the printf approach fix the newline problem for more than one
entry?

Any link to the relevant patch? Can test/rework my patch/pkg-meson.mk in case...

Why (I think more a matter of taste?)? With cross-compilation.conf in PKG_BUILDDIR
(or in other words build) it is automatically removed/refreshed by pkg-meson.mk
(see the rm command in the configure step) and there is no danger of potentially
collision with an already source package provided version?

The version with added '\n', like:

PKG_TARGET_BINARIES = \
 	libgcrypt-config = '...' \
 	\nllvm-config = '...'

works for the sed variant but not for the given printf one...

I'd say it depends the $(@D) of which step. Indeed, in the (admittedly
long term) perspective of per-package out-of-tree build, the source
tree would be shared between the host and target builds of a given
package, and this cross-compilation.conf file would only make sense for
the target variant of the package, and therefore it should be in the
build directory of the target variant.

So, if this file is generated during the "configure" step, we are good,
because $(@D) will point to the build directory. If it's generated in
an earlier step, $(@D) points to the source directory (with per-package
out-of-tree build implemented, of course).

Thomas

 It should work if the [binaries] part is at the end, right? And if binaries is
empty, that's OK, no?

 Alternatively, the [binaries] part could be included in the _TARGET_BINARIES
(which would then have to be renamed to _CROSS_COMPILATION_CONF). So for a
package that needs libgcrypt-config, it would be

define FOO_CROSS_COMPILATION_CONF
[binaries]
libgcrypt-config = '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config'
endef

> , does the printf approach fix the newline problem for more than one

 It does, but you can't use _CROSS_COMPILATION_CONF = ..., you have to use
define, because the actual newlines have to be in the variable itself. Actually,
you can still use = assignment, but then you need to use $(sep), i.e.:

FOO_CROSS_COMPILATION_CONF = [binaries]$(sep)libgcrypt-config =
'$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config'$(sep)

(which is ugly so don't do that :-)

5a0d6813948fea2cdb88a2e35984520eec856dec

 Note that the reasons for doing it in that patch don't apply here. However, I
feel it is better/easier to have a general rule to always do things the same
way, which is diverged from only in specific cases when there is a good reason
to diverge. Like we have the rule that in macros which get $(eval)'ed, we always
use $$ (even though it's really needed only in a small minority of the instances).

 It doesn't really matter which one we choose, $(PKG) or $(2), as long as it is
done consistently.

 The advantage of $(PKG) is that it can be used in contexts where you don't have
a $(2). The advantage of $(2) is that it is less surprising - by the time $(PKG)
gets expanded, it's hard to be sure which value it has (depends on the rule
within which it is expanded).

 It's a matter of taste unless there are additional reasons, and you gave
additional reasons, so it's no longer a matter of taste :-) Let's keep it in
BUILDDIR.

 Similarly like for $(2) vs. $(PKG), I think we should have a "default" for how
to address "the directory where stuff happens". We currently use $(@D) in many
places, but perhaps it's better to turn that into $(FOO_BUILDDIR).

With this and the printf approach I get the following in the cross-compilation.conf
file (mind the leading spaces in the binaries line):

[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family ='arm'
cpu = 'cortex-a53'
endian = 'little'

   [binaries]
libgcrypt-config = '.../host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config'

And meson complains with:

ERROR: Malformed value in cross file variable endian.

 Oh yes, that's because of the newlines in the definition of PRINTF. `make`
replaces backslash-newline-space-space-space with a single space. Since there
are three backslash-newlines in that macro, you get three spaces.

 However, the definition of PERCENT and QUOTE is actually not needed, since
neither of those are special from `make`. So you could instead define the macro as:

        printf '$(subst $(sep),\n,$(subst %,%%,$(subst ','\'',$(subst
\,\\,$(1)))))\n'

 Syntax highlighting in vim is completely screwed up then, but it's the end of
the file so too bad :-)

 If you think that that is still too long, you could define it in two steps:

shell-quote = '$(subst ','\'',$(subst \,\\,$(1)))'
define PRINTF
	printf $(subst $(sep),\n,$(subst %,%%,$(call shell-quote,$(1)$(sep))))
endef

But I'm not convinced that that is nicer.

 Oh, and all of that is untested of course.

 Arnout

The package using the meson infrastructure defines:

   define libfoo_MESON_CROSS_CONF_BINARIES
   libgcrypt-config = '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config'
   llvm-config = '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/llvm-config'
   endef

pkg-meson.mk is using PRINTF to a temporary file and sed is using this
file as input for appending to the [binaries section]:

   $Q$$(if $$($$(PKG)_MESON_CROSS_CONF_BINARIES), \
   	$$(call PRINTF,$$($$(PKG)_MESON_CROSS_CONF_BINARIES))) \
   	> $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-binaries.tmp
   sed -i "s/^[ \t]*//" $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-binaries.tmp
   sed -e "s%@TARGET_CROSS@%$$(TARGET_CROSS)%g" \
       ...
       -e  "/\[binaries\]/r $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-binaries.tmp" \
       package/meson/cross-compilation.conf.in \
       > $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-compilation.conf
   rm -f $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-binaries.tmp

 Is there any reason why this proposal doesn't work? AFAIU, it should be no
problem to repeat the '[binaries]' part several times, right?

 I'm insisting on this since I expect that we'll need to override something else
at some point as well.

 I would rather have the PRINTF macro to be fixed not to insert these tabs. It's
just an artefact of how make works, and can be fairly easily fixed, either by
reordering the newlines in the PRINTF definition, or by putting a $(strip)
around it (although the latter has potential side effect since it also replaces
all internal whitespace with a single space).

 Not many people understand the r command which makes this hard to read, but
it's acceptable for me.

 Maybe, however, we should drop the cross-compilation.conf.in and generate
everything with PRINTF (assuming that PRINTF gets fixed first, of course):

define meson_cross_compilation_conf_template
# Note: Buildroot's and Meson's terminologies differ about the meaning
# of 'build', 'host' and 'target':
# - Buildroot's 'host' is Meson's 'build'
# - Buildroot's 'target' is Meson's 'host'

[binaries]
c = '$(TARGET_CROSS)gcc'
cpp = '$(TARGET_CROSS)g++'
ar = '$(TARGET_CROSS)ar'
strip = '$(TARGET_CROSS)strip'
pkgconfig = '$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/pkg-config'
$($(PKG)_MESON_CROSS_CONF_BINARIES)

[properties]
needs_exe_wrapper = true
...
endef


	$(call PRINTF,$(meson_cross_compilation_conf_template)) \
		> $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)/build/cross-compilation.conf


(Note: even with the above, I would prefer to have a $($(PKG)_MESON_CROSS_CONF)
that gets appended at the end and that has the [binaries] embedded in it; the
above is assuming that that doesn't work for some reason.)

Meson does not accept the same section name more than once. It fails
with:

configparser.DuplicateSectionError: While reading from '/buildroot/output/build/mpd-0.21.9//build/cross-compilation.conf' [line 26]
: section 'binaries' already exists
FAILED: build.ninja

I see! So, this should be fixed first.

As Meson does not accept duplicated sections, $($(PKG)_MESON_CROSS_CONF
isn't an option. So, what does others think about:

a) using seds 'r' command?
b) drop the cross-compilation.conf.in and generate everything with
PRINTF?
c) Something else
