I'm trying to configure a project with meson. Specifically, I'm trying to set some of the options.
meson config tells me, among other things:
Core options:
Option Current Value Possible Values Description
------ ------------- --------------- -----------
buildtype debug [plain, debug, debugoptimized, release, minsize, custom] Build type to use
Base options:
Option Current Value Possible Values Description
------ ------------- --------------- -----------
b_lto false [true, false] Use link time optimization
(other options were clipped from this printout of course.)
So, I write:
meson build . --buildtype=release
in my build directory, and this goes fine - no warnings or errors (I double-checked that the option value had changed). Then I write:
meson build . --b_lto=true
but this gets me:
meson: error: unrecognized arguments: --b_lto=true
I also tried -b_lto=true, --b_lto true, b_lto=true and b_lto true. And all of those without the true value. No luck.
How do I set these "base options" then?
The --option=value, and --option value styles to pass arguments only applies to the universial options section in meson's manual...so not to base options, and others. Instead use the -Doption=value syntax to set options. It is the suggested way, since meson setup --help declares [-D option] to be used for setting all sorts of options. See this answer by the meson team. So, in your case run:
meson build . -Db_lto=true
but, better use this ordering, since its specified this way in the manual (man meson).
meson -Db_lto=true build .
or
meson configure build -Db_lto=true
If the build directory changed since the last configure use reconfigure instead.
meson reconfigure build -Db_lto=true
or explicitly:
meson setup --reconfigure -Db_lto=true build

I have a gatling project where I make use of environment variables:
val Feeder: String = scala.util.Properties.envOrElse("FEEDER", "sts")
When I run it using maven I try to set the value of that variable, but I always get the default value:
$ mvn gatling:test -Dgatling.simulationClass=simulations.MySimulation -DFEEDER=something
I've also tried to just set the value in the terminal before executing maven:
$ FEEDER=something
$ mvn gatling:test -Dgatling.simulationClass=simulations.MySimulation
but I always get the default value "sts"
Am I missing something? How can I set the value I want to get?
You're confusing env variables and Java System Properties.
scala.util.Properties.envOrElse is for the former while -DFEEDER=something is for the latter.
Please use scala.util.Properties.propOrElse or sys.props.getOrElse.
In the book "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project", Chapter 4 contains a sample called "HelloWorld - BitBake style". I encountered a bunch of problems trying to get the old example working against the "Sumo" release 2.5.
If you're like me, the first error you encountered following the book's instructions was that you copied across bitbake.conf and got:
ERROR: ParseError at /tmp/bbhello/conf/bitbake.conf:749: Could not include required file conf/abi_version.conf
And after copying over abi_version.conf as well, you kept finding more and more cross-connected files that needed to be moved, and then some relative-path errors after that... Is there a better way?
Here's a series of steps which can allow you to bitbake nano based on the book's instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, these samples and instructions are all based on the online copy of the book's code-samples. While convenient for copy-pasting, the online resource is not totally consistent with the printed copy, and contains at least one extra bug.
Initial workspace setup
This guide assumes that you're working with Yocto release 2.5 ("sumo"), installed into /tmp/poky, and that the build environment will go into /tmp/bbhello. If you don't the Poky tools+libraries already, the easiest way is to clone it with:
$ git clone -b sumo git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git /tmp/poky
Then you can initialize the workspace with:
$ source /tmp/poky/oe-init-build-env /tmp/bbhello/
If you start a new terminal window, you'll need to repeat the previous command which will get get your shell environment set up again, but it should not replace any of the files created inside the workspace from the first time.
Wiring up the defaults
The oe-init-build-env script should have just created these files for you:
bbhello/conf/local.conf
bbhello/conf/templateconf.cfg
bbhello/conf/bblayers.conf
Keep these, they supersede some of the book-instructions, meaning that you should not create or have the files:
bbhello/classes/base.bbclass
bbhello/conf/bitbake.conf
Similarly, do not overwrite bbhello/conf/bblayers.conf with the book's sample. Instead, edit it to add a single line pointing to your own meta-hello folder, ex:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
${TOPDIR}/meta-hello \
/tmp/poky/meta \
/tmp/poky/meta-poky \
/tmp/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
"
Creating the layer and recipe
Go ahead and create the following files from the book-samples:
meta-hello/conf/layer.conf
meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
We'll edit these files gradually as we hit errors.
Can't find recipe error
The error:
ERROR: BBFILE_PATTERN_hello not defined
It is caused by the book-website's bbhello/meta-hello/conf/layer.conf being internally inconsistent. It uses the collection-name "hello" but on the next two lines uses _test suffixes. Just change them to _hello to match:
# Set layer search pattern and priority
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "hello"
BBFILE_PATTERN_hello := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_hello = "5"
Interestingly, this error is not present in the printed copy of the book.
No license error
The error:
ERROR: /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb: This recipe does not have the LICENSE field set (nano)
ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
Can be fixed by adding a license setting with one of the values that bitbake recognizes. In this case, add a line onto nano.bb of:
LICENSE="GPLv3"
Recipe parse error
ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
[...]
bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable PV_MAJOR, expression was ${#bb.data.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[0]} which triggered exception AttributeError: module 'bb.data' has no attribute 'getVar'
This is fixed by updating the special python commands being used in the recipe, because #bb.data was deprecated and is now removed. Instead, replace it with #d, ex:
PV_MAJOR = "${#d.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[0]}"
PV_MINOR = "${#d.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[1]}"
License checksum failure
ERROR: nano-2.2.6-r0 do_populate_lic: QA Issue: nano: Recipe file fetches files and does not have license file information (LIC_FILES_CHKSUM) [license-checksum]
This can be fixed by adding a directive to the recipe telling it what license-info-containing file to grab, and what checksum we expect it to have.
We can follow the way the recipe generates the SRC_URI, and modify it slightly to point at the COPYING file in the same web-directory. Add this line to nano.bb:
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "${SITE}/v${PV_MAJOR}.${PV_MINOR}/COPYING;md5=f27defe1e96c2e1ecd4e0c9be8967949"
The MD5 checksum in this case came from manually downloading and inspecting the matching file.
Done!
Now bitbake nano ought to work, and when it is complete you should see it built nano:
/tmp/bbhello $ find ./tmp/deploy/ -name "*nano*.rpm*"
./tmp/deploy/rpm/i586/nano-dbg-2.2.6-r0.i586.rpm
./tmp/deploy/rpm/i586/nano-dev-2.2.6-r0.i586.rpm
I have recently worked on that hands-on hello world project. As far as I am concerned, I think that the source code in the book contains some bugs. Below there is a list of suggested fixes:
Inheriting native class
In fact, when you build with bitbake that you got from poky, it builds only for the target, unless you mention in your recipe that you are building for the host machine (native). You can do the latter by adding this line at the end of your recipe:
inherit native
Adding license information
It is worth mentioning that the variable LICENSE is important to be set in any recipe, otherwise bitbake rises an error. In our case, we try to build the version 2.2.6 of the nano editor, its current license is GPLv3, hence it should be mentioned as follow:
LICENSE = "GPLv3"
Using os.system calls
As the book states, you cannot dereference metadata directly from a python function. Which means it is mandatory to access metadata through the d dictionary. Bellow, there is a suggestion for the do_unpack python function, you can use its concept to code the next tasks (do_configure, do_compile):
python do_unpack() {
workdir = d.getVar("WORKDIR", True)
dl_dir = d.getVar("DL_DIR", True)
p = d.getVar("P", True)
tarball_name = os.path.join(dl_dir, p+".tar.gz")
bb.plain("Unpacking tarball")
os.system("tar -x -C " + workdir + " -f " + tarball_name)
bb.plain("tarball unpacked successfully")
}
Launching the nano editor
After successfully building your nano editor package, you can find your nano executable in the following directory in case you are using Ubuntu (arch x86_64):
./tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nano/2.2.6-r0/src/nano
Should you have any comments or questions, Don't hesitate !
How to specify the --no-highlight-code option in Babel's Require Hook options object?
require('babel/register')({
'--no-highlight-code': true,
'no-highlight-code': true,
'noHighlightCode': true,
});
require('./script');
All of those give the error Unknown option: no-highlight-code
It's an option present Babel's command line usage, so I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to use it like that, although the example page lists blacklist and whitelist could be used ..
babel --help
Usage: index [options] <files ...>
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-f, --filename [string] filename to use when reading from stdin - this will be used in source-maps, errors etc
--module-id [string] specify a custom name for module ids
--retain-lines retain line numbers - will result in really ugly code
--no-non-standard enable/disable support for JSX and Flow (on by default)
--experimental allow use of experimental transformers
--no-highlight-code enable/disable ANSI syntax highlighting of code frames (on by default)
-e, --stage [number] ECMAScript proposal stage version to allow [0-4]
The option to disable highlighting code is (by default) on, and the command line option has the (added) prefix "no".
require("babel/register")({ highlightCode: false }) is the way to disable highlighting code in parse time SyntaxErrors when passing an object to babel/register.
Passing { highlightCode: true } does nothing; the default is true.
I'm using CTest and want to pass command-line arguments to the underlying tests at runtime. I know there are ways to hard code command-line arguments into the CMake/CTest script, but I want to specify the command-line arguments at runtime and have those arguments passed through CTest to the underlying test.
Is this even possible?
I've figured out a way to do it (using the Fundamental theorem of software engineering). It's not as simple as I'd like, but here it is.
First, create a file ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/RunTests.cmake with the content
if(NOT DEFINED ENV{TESTS_ARGUMENTS})
set(ENV{TESTS_ARGUMENTS} "--default-arguments")
endif()
execute_process(COMMAND ${TEST_EXECUTABLE} $ENV{TESTS_ARGUMENTS} RESULT_VARIABLE result)
if(NOT "${result}" STREQUAL "0")
message(FATAL_ERROR "Test failed with return value '${result}'")
endif()
Then, when you add the test, use
add_test(
NAME MyTest
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -DTEST_EXECUTABLE=$<TARGET_FILE:MyTest> -P ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/RunTests.cmake
)
Finally, you can run the test with custom arguments using
cmake -E env TESTS_ARGUMENTS="--custom-arguments" ctest
Note that if you use bash, you can simplify this to
TESTS_ARGUMENTS="--custom-arguments" ctest
There are some problems with this approach, e.g. it ignores the WILL_FAIL property of the tests. Of course I wish it could be as simple as calling ctest -- --custom-arguments, but, as the Stones said, You can't always get what you want.
I'm not sure I fully understand what you want, but I still can give you a way to pass arguments to tests in CTest, at runtime.
I'll give you an example, with CTK (the Common Toolkit, https://github.com/commontk/CTK):
In the build dir (ex: CTK-build/CTK-build, it's a superbuild), if I run: ('-V' for Verbose, and '-N' for View Mode only)
ctest -R ctkVTKDataSetArrayComboBoxTest1 -V -N
I get:

Constructing a list of tests
Done constructing a list of tests

You can copy-paste the "Test command" in your terminal:
/CTK-build/CTK-build/bin/CTKVisualizationVTKWidgetsCppTests "ctkVTKDataSetArrayComboBoxTest1"
And add the arguments, for example "-I" for interactive testing:
/CTK-build/CTK-build/bin/CTKVisualizationVTKWidgetsCppTests "ctkVTKDataSetArrayComboBoxTest1" "-I"
Tell me if it helps.
matthieu's answer gave me the clue to get it to work for me.
For my code I did the following:
Type the command ctest -V -R TestMembraneCellCrypt -N to get the output:
...
488: Test command: path/to/ctest/executable/TestMembraneCellCrypt
Labels: Continuous_project_ChasteMembrane
Test #488: TestMembraneCellCrypt
...
Then I copied the Test command and provided the arguments there:
path/to/ctest/executable/TestMembraneCellCrypt -e 2 -em 5 -ct 10
I'll note that the package I'm using (Chaste), is pretty large so there might be things going on that I don't know about.
My CMake code looks like the following:
macro(macro_name target_name)
add_custom_command(TARGET ${target_name}
POST_BUILD
COMMAND MyCommand)
endmacro()
Running this I get the following message:
CMake Warning (dev) at ... (add_custom_command):
Policy CMP0040 is not set: The target in the TARGET signature of
add_custom_command() must exist. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0040" for
policy details. Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and
suppress this warning.
The target name "target_name" is unknown in this context.
The same code inside of a function works great but I need macro for other things.
CMake policy (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/policy/CMP0040.html) suggests just ignoring of this warning (and ignoring of adding of postbuild step at all) or treating it as error depending on the settings.
This: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/macro.html states that parameters behavior in macros is different from one in functions.
How do I properly refer to macro parameters to get this work?
I've managed to figure out the reason: in my case wrong directory was used as ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} inside of the macro. Fixing paths allowed to get desirable result
