GTK currently fails to detect if epoxy has been built with EGL on
Windows when epoxy is a subproject. To fix that it needs to get that
information from the dependency variables.
This requires Meson >=0.54.0 for setting variables in
declare_dependency().
Do not rely on the shebang line and the executable bit; we should use
find_program(), instead, which lets Meson run a script in the
appropriate environment, portably.
build_apple was introduced in 756dca as a proxy for the fact that Apple's libc
doesn't have dlvsym(), which is glibc-specific so also isn't present in other
libc implementations such as musl.
Instead of detecting whether we are building for Apple or not, just probe the to
see if we have dlvsym.
Instead of iterating over the list of compiler flags, we should use the
get_supported_arguments() method of the compiler object, which does it
for us — and maybe, in the future, will be optimised to do the checks in
parallel.
The `enable-` prefix is an Autotool-ism; idiomatic naming for Meson
projects should just use the name of the option, and rely on the type
to convey meaning, especially because Meson does not have `disable`
aliases that avoid the explicit `enable-foo=no` cases.
Epoxy can be compiled with GLX and X11 native resources on EGL. We can
disable the former, but the latter is always built in when enabling EGL
support.
Some platforms do not support X11 at all, so we need a way to disable
X11 when configuring Epoxy.
Instead of using a template file, and filling in the blanks, we can use
the Meson pkgconfig module to generate the pkg-config file mostly from
the library object itself — including dependencies and flags.
The template file remains in tree for the Autotools build.
It is perfectly possible to build Mesa3D with just OpenGL support, and
use with GLX in X.org, without having EGL/OpenGLES support.
However, libepoxy currently unconditionally requires EGL support in its
configure.ac, which causes a build failure when Mesa3D only provides
full OpenGL support:
checking for EGL... no
configure: error: Package requirements (egl) were not met:
Package egl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `egl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'egl', required by 'world', not found
This commit fixes that by:
- Adjusting the configure.ac to add a --{enable,disable}-egl option
handled in the exact same way as --{enable,disable}-glx
- Adjusting the meson build logic in the same way.
- Adjusting src/dispatch_common.h to define PLATFORM_HAS_EGL correctly,
which allows to not include any EGL related header file if EGL
support is not enabled.

Removing the files() statement allows us to not use source_root(), which
breaks using libepoxy as a sub-project.
Using the python3 module is better for Windows portability.
We have been building the shared library for Epoxy without the symbol
visibility flags for the compiler, which means we've been leaking
internal symbols all over the floor.
Fixes: #111
We depend on an older version of Meson; once we can bump up the minimum
version, we'll be able to fix a couple of less than optimal uses of the
Meson API.
Instead of having Meson determine the invocator through the shebang
line we explicitly pass the script file to the Python interpreter.
This will allow us to either use Python3 or Python2, or whatever
Python.exe is available on Windows.
We're using a bunch of compiler arguments when building with GCC and
compilers that expose a GCC compatibility layer, but we should also have
warnings when building with MSVC.
GLib has a bunch of compiler arguments, taken from the "Win32
Programming" book, that we can reuse.
Since Epoxy can be built with different platform-specific API, having a
way for dependent projects to discover those capabilities without
necessarily crashing the minute they attempt to use them is a good
feature to have.
We strongly direct library and application developers to use pkg-config
in order to use Epoxy, so it makes sense to add variables to the
epoxy.pc file that can be easily extracted at configuration time.
Currently, GLX support in libepoxy at build time is hard coded, but
various platforms have expressed their preference for having a
configure-time option for it.
For instance:
- various embedded distributors do not ship with X11, but wish to use
libraries that depend on libepoxy now that Wayland is available
- distributors for macOS still wish to retain the ability to ship
their software with X11 enabled
By default, we want epoxy to build with GLX enabled pretty much
everywhere it makes sense, since it's only a build-time option and it's
not a run-time dependency.
