… found at build-time.
It was working on a machine with default paths and system-installed
packages (e.g. a typical Linux distributions) but needs to be manually
set up e.g. on Windows.
Instead of always parsing the ISO-639 listing at each and every startup,
let's just generate the list of languages, their English name, and the
self-localized names as static struct.
This will just be much faster, and no worrying on the size of the XML
(or json) to parse.
This commit is separate from the previous to make it immediately clear (by
comparing files) that the previous commit is a simple move with no modification
whatsoever of the icons/ directory, i.e. the symmetrical removal of add commit
gimp-data@8b54490.
We now clone gimp-data as a meson subproject. I am currently testing the
subproject feature though I am doubting a bit because of its limitations: the
git clone is not updated automatically, nor are errors clear. Therefore it would
be easy to end up with outdated data for developers not manually and regularly
running:
> meson subprojects update
Worse, it looks like even when updating the suproject, it fails to be properly
reconfigured. See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/12898
We pass 2 GeglColor through the wire now. Since it is passed very early
(when sharing the configuration), I had some issues with initialization
order of GEGL, and in particular when calling gegl_init() before
gegl_config() inside _gimp_config(), I had a bunch of such criticals:
> Plugin script-fu: GLib-GObject: CRITICAL: Two different plugins tried to register 'GeglOpPlugIn-transform-core'
Anyway in the end, I store the passed colors as raw bytes and strings in
the GPConfig object, and re-construct the GeglColor last minute in
_gimp_config().
Cf. the previous commit: colorsvg2png has a memory leak in librsvg (so we can't
fix it easily). In any case, it's just a one-time-use tool, we don't really need
to focus on its memory bugs as long as it does its job to make icons.
- Setting an exec_dir variable is an error. As meson docs says, if
relative, it is installed relatively to prefix anyway: "If this is a
relative path, it is assumed to be relative to the prefix."
On the other hand, it would make problems if someone tried to set an
absolute bindir.
Moreover it is a lot clearer now. When we want to install in the
binary directory unconditionally, then get_option('bindir') is the
meson way, hence the way to go.
- On the other hand, the `gimp-debug-tool` is installed either in bindir
for Windows or macOS and libexecdir for all other platforms, at least
that's how it's set in the autotools build. So let's keep both builds
consistent.
- Make a hopefully clearer description for enable-default-bin option.
Let's clarify this is just about creating unversionning links pointing
to versionned files.
- Adding an item in the "Optional Features" part of the summary listing
during meson configure, for better discovery.
For the ".exe" extension on Windows, I wished we had an $(EXEEXT)
equivalent on meson rather than trying to set it ourselves (are there
other platforms where we must set a different extension?). But I could
not find any.
Ok that was a bit of a mess with the 4 build cases (combinations of
meson, autotools, vector and raster icons). I *think* this is now OK.
Basically we still need to build the colorsvg2png tool even when
installing vector icons, just for the purpose of the 2 icons
dialog-question and gimp-wilber-eek which we compile into GLib resources
from PNG images.
Also it looks like I completely forgot to add the subdir meson.build in
icons/Color/.
Build-time tool, which basically just rasterize SVG images (it doesn't
do anything special like gtk-encode-symbolic-svg which creates special
PNG for GTK to recolor them).
It looks like I had this prepared since 2018 according to file header,
but I just never finished doing it! :P
Basically now PNG icons of the Color icon themes do not need anymore to
be committed in the repository. They will be generated from the SVG
icons.
Also adding a missing icon from the 16px list (the Playground icon for
Preferences dialog was needed in 16x16 as well, yet missing).
