Meson Wrap Database
This is a collection of projects that use Meson as their build system, or have a meson port maintained by the Meson team. They can be used as subproject to any Meson project that needs them as dependency.
How to test a wrap
Clone this repository locally, and set the wraps
option with a comma separated
list of wraps that needs to be built.
For example to test libjpeg-turbo and zlib:
meson setup builddir -Dwraps=libjpeg-turbo,zlib
meson compile -C builddir
How to contribute new wraps
-
Write
my-project.wrap
file and add it insubprojects/
directory. -
If upstream project's build system is not Meson, a port can be added in
subprojects/packagefiles/my-project/meson.build
andpatch_directory = my-subproject
should be added into the wrap file. Note that the wholesubprojects/packagefiles/my-project
subtree will be copied onto the upstream's source tree, but it is generally not accepted to override upstream files. -
It is often easier to develop in
subprojects/my-project
directory and update packagefiles directory at the end. This can be done usingtools/update-packagefiles.py
script. -
Add your release information in
releases.json
. It is a dictionary where the key is the wrap name and the value is a dictionary containing with the following keys:versions
: Sorted list (newest first) of release tags in the format<upstream version>-<revision>
where the revision starts at 1 and is incremented when a changed is made in the meson port.dependency_names
: (Optional) List of dependency names (e.g. pkg-config name such asglib-2.0
) provided by the wrap. It must match information from wrap's[provide]
section.program_names
: (Optional) List of program names (e.g.glib-compile-resources
) provided by the wrap. It must match information from wrap's[provide]
section.
-
Configure CI in
ci_config.json
. It is a dictionary where the key is the wrap name and the value is a dictionary containing with the following keys:build_options
: (Optional) List ofoption=value
strings that will be used to build the project on the CI.debian_packages
: (Optional) List of extra packages that will be installed on debian-like CI runners. Dependencies that can be provided by other wraps should not be added here because it's better to test that fallbacks works. When runningtools/sanity_checks.py
locally, this list will be printed but not installed.linux_only
: (Optional) If set totrue
, indicates the wrap should be tested only on Linux CI.fatal_warnings
: (Optional) If set tofalse
removes --fatal-meson-warning. Use this only when there is no other way to fix the warning.
-
Test locally by running
tools/sanity_checks.py
script. It will be executed on the CI and must always return success before merging any PR. -

How to import one of those wraps into my project
Run meson wrap install <name>
on the top source dir of your project. It
will install subprojects/<name>.wrap
file used by Meson to download the
dependency.
