Or just remove the build_by_default: false here:
socket_scm_helper = executable('socket_scm_helper', 'socket_scm_helper.c',
build_by_default: false)
I guess now is a good time to decide which executables to build by
default (static_libraries should never be built by default) and
document it in docs/devel/build-system.rst.
Right now, the only executables that aren't built by default are:
- rdmacm-mux and vhost-user-blk because they're broken
- gen-features because it's built anyway for s390 targets
- vhost-user-bridge, and that probably should be changed
- socket_scm_helper, which could/should be changed too
- fptest, not sure why that works at all O:-) Tests are built by
default (and they trigger coverity quite a bit). We will be
able to fix that, and at the same time respect the "tests(depends: ...)"
argument instead of just having "check: all", when meson 0.56.0
comes out.
