Hi,
I've been hacking on addressing some of the complaints (after having been
off-work in a somewhat unplanned way for most of the last two weeks). With
some already opened and soon-to-be-proposed PRs to Dave's winbuild and the
attached changes I think the concerns can largely be addressed.
Here's the current set of changes:
0001: meson: Add missing argument to gssapi.h check
Largely independent, but included to avoid conflicts
0002: Don't define HAVE_[GSSAPI_]GSSAPI_EXT_H
Largely independent, but included to avoid conflicts
0003: meson: Add support for detecting gss without pkg-config
0004: meson: Add support for detecting ossp-uuid without pkg-config
Do what it says on the tin. Neither includes dependency information via
pkg-config or cmake in their upstream repos.
0005: meson: Add dependency lookups via names used by cmake
This adds support for the alternative names used by cmake lookups. That
addresses
0006: meson: nls: Handle intl requiring iconv
This afaict is only required when dealing with a static libc, so it might be
considered independent
0007: windows-tab-complete-workaround
Just included so the build doesn't fail for me with all the dependencies
installed.
0008: krb-vs-openssl-workaround
Just included so the build doesn't fail for me with all the dependencies
installed. There's a separate thread to discuss the right fix.
0009: wip: meson: reduce linker noise for executables
This is mainly a minor quality of life thing for me when hacking on this. If
a static libintl is used, link.exe outputs a message for every binary, which
makes it harder to see warnings.
0010: meson: wip: tcl
This is just some preliminary hacking needs more work.
Note that cmake is automatically installed as part of visual studio these
days.
Greetings,
Andres Freund
