I took a look at this a bit. Here’s what I found. The meson configure stage is
failing many checks that lead to an improper configuration and then results
in the the build failure above.
It looks to me like the root cause is a binutils-2.17 ld bug. Meson builds its
test programs with full paths to certain libraries and ld fails to link.
For example, here is the alarm test program:
#define alarm meson_disable_define_of_alarm
#include <limits.h>
#undef alarm
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
char alarm (void);
#if defined __stub_alarm || defined __stub___alarm
fail fail fail this function is not going to work
#endif
int main(void) {
return alarm ();
}
Its compiled and linked with the following command:
cc -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/libpng16
-I/usr/local/include/lzo testfile.c -o output.exe -O2 -pipe -g
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O0 -Wl,--start-group -lm /usr/local/lib/liblzo2.so.1.0
-lz /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.18.0 /usr/lib/libz.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.13.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.30.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.17.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.13.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.6.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxcb.so.4.1

/usr/X11R6/lib/libpixman-1.so.40.0 -Wl,--end-group
And results in these linking errors:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.13.0: warning: sprintf() is often misused,
please use snprintf()

/usr/X11R6/lib/libxcb.so.4.1: undefined reference to `XauGetBestAuthByAddr'
/usr/X11R6/lib/libxcb.so.4.1: undefined reference to `XauDisposeAuth’
Note the warning lines about not finding libs that are clearly in the list of
libs to link but using full paths instead of -llibX11 for example.
All of the failing configure tests are failing in the same way.
