Dear all,
yesterday I tried to build new QEMU installers for Windows and noticed
two regressions which break my build process:
*** Change in handling of --extra-cflags
Running `configure [...] --extra-cflags="-I /xyz"` results in compiler
flags `-I [...] /xyz`, so the `-I` and `/xyz` are separated by other
compiler flags which obviously cannot work as expected. I could work
around that by removing the space and using a pattern like `-I/xyz`.
This regression is not restricted to builds targeting Windows.
*** Setting INSTALLER no longer handled
meson.build sets a hard name for the Windows installer executable:
installer = 'qemu-setup-' + meson.project_version() + '.exe'.
Previously the installer name could be changed by running `make
installer INSTALLER=qemu-setup-something.exe`. This no longer works. Is
there an alternative solution how the name of the installer executable
can be set? Or how could I reimplement the lost functionality?
Kind regards
Stefan Weil
