[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] meson: new package

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

?ric, All,

On 2016-07-09 15:49 +0200, Eric Le Bihan spake thusly:
> This new package provides the host variant of the Meson Build System, an
> open source build system meant to be both extremely fast, and as user
> friendly as possible.
> 
> More precisely, Meson creates configuration files for the Ninja build
> system.
> 
> Besides building Meson, it generates a configuration file
> ("$(HOST_DIR)/etc/meson/cross-compilation.conf") to be used when
> cross-compiling a Meson-based project.

Meson is using the correct terminology, the same as the autotools. It's
Buildroot that is /special/. ;-)

But yes, the comment is useful, to remove any ambiguity.

This properties section is empty. Can we do without it?

There is a reason I don;t like this $(SED): the first -e is implicit,
and so the code is not obvious.

> +		$(HOST_DIR)/etc/meson/cross-compilation.conf

Also, I would do it in a single pass:

    mkdir -p $(HOST_DIR)/etc/meson
    sed -e 's;@TARGET_CROSS@;$(TARGET_CROSS);g' \
        -e blabla \
        $(MESON_PKGDIR)/cross-compilation.conf.in \
        >$(HOST_DIR)/etc/meson/cross-compilation.conf

And then I'd be happy because there would be no implicit '-e'! :-)

But wait yet a bit more for others to express their preferences... ;-)

No need for a continuation line, it all fits on a single line.
