Hi,
When building network-manager-applet, I got:
---------
[...]
CCLD src/libnm-gtk/libnm-gtk.la
/bin/grep: /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.la: No such file or directory
libtool: error: '/usr/lib/libatk-1.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive
---------
The reason id that libatk-1.0.la has not been installed when building
the atk package, because the build system is meson, but
network-manager-applet still uses autotools!
Of course, I can copy an old .la file coming from previous builds with
autotools, but what this error shows is that mixing meson and autotools
will be troublesome. OTOH, a lot of packages are not meson-able yet, so
autotools has still to be used. Conclusion: refrain using meson for the
time being.
[interoperability dream]
Maybe meson could generate .la files... Or libtool could use pkgconfig
files...
[interoperability reality]
I do not see any option for that
