Re: Porting applications to meson

[Iñigo Martínez]

I have ported Totem to meson and submitted a patch[0]. It would be
nice if someone reviews and some testing would also be very
appreciated.

It hasn't been trivial as it has its own quirks and twists, but I hope
it's good enough.

Best regards,

I don't know where libgepub does belong in that list (core-deps
maybe?), but it's done[0]. I will try to get totem done.

Sure, this is more to coordinate effort and avoid duplicating effort

Also help people that are interested to port and need some examples to
get started

Hi,
do not count with evolution* for now, please. I'm not willing to change
their build system again, that soon after the change to CMake. I'm
quite happy with CMake, to be honest.

And as long as its dependencies like WebKitGTK+ or libical use CMake,
thus it's needed for Continuous, jhbuild, and what-so-ever-other
consumers, there's really not much need to change to Meson for these,
from my point of view.

I know each has its parts which can do better than the other, that's
pretty common. The suggested effort may work for Meson as an advertise
and to popularize it, which can be also good for Meson, no doubt.

Bye,
Milan

I've been thinking on doing this for a while, so here you go:

That will help, thank you.

Totem could be an interesting challenge, being a core application.

I will take a look to see what I do.

I've been today reading the meson documentation to try to port
libgepub[1], but I can't find any example of a lib with gir and all
this stuff, so I decided to wait until other libs are ported.

libgepub have a simple lib with gir and an executable for test. If you
want to help on this, I'll appreciate. If anyone knows about other
gnome lib with gir that now implements meson build, that would be a
good resource to copy code from.

Regards.

If you're interested, a non-trivial application would be totem. It has
optional Python and Vala deps, an external API to port to the newer
gtk-doc, etc.

Porting any libraries in its dependency chain would also be helpful.

Porting applications to meson

[Iñigo Martínez]

Hi,

I have been using meson for some months now at work, and I've taken
advantage of what I learned to port some applications' build systems
to it (gnome-todo[0], bijiben[1] and gnome-calendar[2]). While I'm
waiting for those patches to be reviewed, I could also help on porting
other applications' build systems too, although there is some work in
progress[3][4] and I would rather not start working on any random
application duplicating someone else's work.

Is there any application that no one is working on and that it would
be interesting to port it to meson?

Please, do not hesitate to contact me. I can try my best :)
