Hi, I am trying to use Meson, and I did the followings to get
dub packages:
dub fetch hunt-net
dub fetch hunt-proton
dub build hunt-net
dub build hunt-proton
when I have this line in my meson.build file:
dependency('hunt-net', method: 'dub')
It works fine:
Run-time dependency hunt-net found: YES 0.4.6
But when I change it to
dependency('hunt-proton', method: 'dub')
It simply says:
Run-time dependency hunt-proton found: NO
... ERROR: Dependency "hunt-proton" not found
And when I looked at meson-log.txt, I couldn't find any clue on
why that happens:
Determining dependency 'hunt-proton' with DUB executable
'.../dlang/dmd-2.091.0/linux/bin64/dub'
Run-time dependency hunt-proton found: NO
So I completely cannot figure out why hunt-net is resolvable
but hunt-proton is not. Can anyone help me understand how meson
resolves these dependencies? Thanks!
I have a feeling that it might be because of the fact that
hunt-proton has a "beta" in its version:
hunt-net 0.4.6: /home/.../.dub/packages/hunt-net-0.4.6/hunt-net/
hunt-proton 1.0.0-beta.3:
/home/.../.dub/packages/hunt-proton-1.0.0-beta.3/hunt-proton/
However, this does not help me solve the problem. Even if I add a
"version" parameter to the dependency() function, it still does
not resolve hunt-proton.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
