lix/meson.build

#
# OUTLINE:
#
# The top-level meson.build file (this file) handles general logic for build options,
# generation of config.h (which is put in the build directory, not the source root
# like the previous, autoconf-based build system did), the mechanism for header
# generation, and the few global C++ compiler arguments that are added to all targets in Lix.
#
# src/meson.build coordinates each of Lix's subcomponents (the lib dirs in ./src),
# which each have their own meson.build. Lix's components depend on each other,
# so each of `src/lib{util,store,fetchers,expr,main,cmd}/meson.build` rely on variables
# set in earlier `meson.build` files. Each of these also defines the install targets for
# their headers.
#
# src/meson.build also collects the miscellaneous source files that are in further subdirectories
# that become part of the final Nix command (things like `src/nix-build/*.cc`).
#
# Finally, src/nix/meson.build defines the Nix command itself, relying on all prior meson files.
#
# Unit tests are setup in tests/unit/meson.build, under the test suite "check".
#
# Functional tests are a bit more complicated. Generally they're defined in
# tests/functional/meson.build, and rely on helper scripts meson/setup-functional-tests.py
# and meson/run-test.py. Scattered around also are configure_file() invocations, which must
# be placed in specific directories' meson.build files to create the right directory tree
# in the build directory.
