Bug ID: 412473
Summary: [KDevelop/Meson] : missing features
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Build tools: Meson
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
At a quick glance, here are a few missing features (one of which is a bit of a
design bug):
- there is no setting for the configuration environment as provided by the
other project manager plugins
- idem, the install prefix isn't separated out of the other options but hidden
"somewhere in there"
- there is no easy way to select compilers. The CMake plugin doesn't provide
one either, but then it also doesn't provide a settings page called "Compiler"
where you'd expect to be able to make this kind of choice.
- project build options aren't saved in the .kdev4/foo.kdev4 settings file.
The latter is a design error IMHO. Project options should (also) be saved in
the project definition, so that you can easily perform a full clean build by
trashing and recreating the build directory. I am aware that the CMake plugin
also doesn't allow this, but again, it has many less configuration options
built in: start a new project and you will have to specify any non-default
settings via the cmake "extra arguments" (which will be stored in the .kdev4
file).
