Motivation for this change

Lots of packages have been switching to Meson recently. The setup hooks should make updating these packages easier and prevent duplication in configure/build/install scripts.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing
    (nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
    or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf
    on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • Linux
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Looks very nice to me! Few comments though: does this one other package benefit/get broken from this setup-hook:

pkgs/applications/video/pitivi/default.nix:, which, meson, ninja
pkgs/applications/video/pitivi/default.nix:    buildInputs = [ which meson ninja pkgconfig gobjectIntrospection ]

What about these using ninja (without meson)?:

Thanks for the hint, I'm going to try building those packages.

  • pitivi/gst-transcoder: does not have configure/build commands as the repository includes a configure script. Should work just fine with the setup hooks here though (I'll check that)
  • i-score: cmake/ninja, has obsolete preBuild - doesn't build because of some unrelated cmake error
  • ao: cmake/ninja, has obsolete buildPhase
  • llpp: custom build/install
  • chromium/vivaldi: custom build/install
  • lean2: will check, ninja appears to be a runtime dependency and not used for the build
  • swift: custom build/install
  • jamomacore: already fixed
  • qtwebengine: not sure, will have to try building
  • xcbuild: will check, ninja appears to be a runtime dependency
  • swift-corefoundation: custom build/install
  • fcitx-mozc/ibus-mozc: custom build/install
  • illum: has obsolete buildPhase

One thing I noticed is that ninja install strips the entire rpath from all the binaries.
I added a patch to the meson I used to build, but there should probably be a better solution (it does this for some kind of reason, I think).

meson.overrideDerivation (attrs: {
  postPatch = ''
    sed -i -e 's|e.fix_rpath(install_rpath)||' mesonbuild/scripts/meson_install.py
  '';
})

Remove obsolete ninja buildPhases

These are all handled by ninja's setup hook.

lean2, xcbuild: fix build with ninja setup hook

Ninja is a runtime dependency here. However, cmake can generate Ninja
build files as well to satisfy the setup hook.

qtwebengine is still building, but I think they're all working now!

Edit: qtwebengine fails on install, I'll fix that...
Edit2: I added another commit to fix qtwebengine.

@yorickvP I think this is a separate issue as it doesn't really depend on the setup hook.

Would it be also possible to set checkPhase to mesontest?

running tests
check flags: -j1 -l1 VERBOSE=y check
make: *** No rule to make target 'check'.  Stop.

@vcunat yes, I am currently adding it manually for GNOME packages but extending the setup hook would be more convenient. I did not make a pull request since I have not been sure if having a separate mesonCheckPhase analogous to mesonConfigurePhase was a good idea and what flags to pass to meson test. I will try to investigate later.
