Speaking with a distro maintainers hat on, for this to be usable there needs to be considerably more documentation, neither meson --help, README or README.wayland tell me how to enable or disable building with git. All that stuff simply should be there before you get distro's to try it (or intend to remove autotools) otherwise your just wasting our time. Equally the html documentation is not built automatically and there is no indication of how one might build it. As a side note, git is also required for building (which wasn't the case before). In terms of distro support and success covering our currently supported distro's: openSUSE Tumbleweed: Works fine openSUSE Leap 42.3: Meson Crashes [1] openSUSE Leap 42.2: Meson version is too old or not available. So from a distro perspective there is still some work to be done here before we can consider dropping autotools. 1. https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/X11:Enlightenment:Nightly/enlightenment/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/x86_64 [ 70s] + /usr/bin/meson --buildtype=plain --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --includedir=/usr/include --datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --localedir=/usr/share/locale --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com . build [ 71s] Traceback (most recent call last): [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/mesonmain.py", line 298, in run [ 71s] app.generate() [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/mesonmain.py", line 180, in generate [ 71s] intr.run() [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreter.py", line 2504, in run [ 71s] super().run() [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 125, in run [ 71s] self.evaluate_codeblock(self.ast, start=1) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 146, in evaluate_codeblock [ 71s] raise e [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 140, in evaluate_codeblock [ 71s] self.evaluate_statement(cur) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 153, in evaluate_statement [ 71s] return self.assignment(cur) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 566, in assignment [ 71s] value = self.evaluate_statement(node.value) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 151, in evaluate_statement [ 71s] return self.function_call(cur) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreterbase.py", line 372, in function_call [ 71s] return self.funcs[func_name](node, self.flatten(posargs), kwargs) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreter.py", line 1494, in func_run_command [ 71s] get_meson_script(self.environment, 'mesonintrospect'), in_builddir) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreter.py", line 77, in __init__ [ 71s] pc, self.stdout, self.stderr = self.run_command(command_array, source_dir, build_dir, subdir, mesonintrospect, in_builddir) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/interpreter.py", line 98, in run_command [ 71s] return Popen_safe(command_array, env=child_env, cwd=cwd) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/mesonbuild/mesonlib.py", line 510, in Popen_safe [ 71s] stderr=stderr, **kwargs) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 856, in __init__ [ 71s] restore_signals, start_new_session) [ 71s] File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 1460, in _execute_child [ 71s] raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg) [ 71s] PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied [ 71s] The Meson build system [ 71s] Version: 0.40.1 [ 71s] Source dir: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/enlightenment-0.21.99.20170901.cc5eec5cc [ 71s] Build dir: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/enlightenment-0.21.99.20170901.cc5eec5cc/build [ 71s] Build type: native build [ 71s] Project name: enlightenment [ 71s] Native c compiler: cc (gcc 4.8.5) [ 71s] Appending CFLAGS from environment: '-fmessage-length=0 -grecord-gcc-switches -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g' [ 71s] Build machine cpu family: x86_64 [ 71s] Build machine cpu: x86_64 [ 71s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.c16M02 (%build) -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
