We also unconditionally use them with autotools.
Also, the detection for have_version_script does
not seem correct to me. At least, it didn't work
with clang.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
Note that:
- we compile some source files multiple times. Most notably those
under "shared/".
- we include a default header "shared/nm-default.h" in every source
file. This header is supposed to setup a common environment by defining
and including parts that are commonly used. As we always include the
same header, the header must behave differently depending
one whether the compilation is for libnm-core, NetworkManager or
libnm-glib. E.g. it must include <glib/gi18n.h> or <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
depending on whether we compile a library or an application.
For that, the source files need the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION #define
to behave accordingly.
Extend the define to be composed of flags. These flags are all named
NM_NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION_WITH_*, they indicate which part of the
build are available. E.g. when building libnm-core.la itself, then
WITH_LIBNM_CORE, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_INTERNAL, and WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
are available. When building NetworkManager, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
is not available but the internal parts are still accessible. When
building nmcli, only WITH_LIBNM_CORE (the public part) is available.
This granularily controls the build.
