Ah, now it makes sense, thanks for the explanation! But I've tested the patch now, and it does not work: .../qemu/meson.build:117:3: ERROR: Unknown variable "have_system". Should the pixman test maybe be moved to a later spot in the file? It currently shows up before the have_system variable is initialized... Thomas
