Because\nof this we have chosen to build only one library type at a time instead of\ncompiling twice to produce both types in a single pass.\n\nv3:\n * condense library, target and toolchain type logic determining values for\n is_shared_enabled,install_{static,shared} values.\n * define empty shared_dep object to allow unconditional evaluation of shared\n variables even when is_shared_enabled is false.\n * use default_library() string to determine deps for chkincs.\n\nTyler Retzlaff (2):\n build: build only one library type on Windows\n buildtools: when building static library use static deps\n\n app/meson.build | 6 +++\n buildtools/chkincs/meson.build | 5 ++-\n config/meson.build | 20 ++++++++++\n drivers/meson.build | 64 +++++++++++++++----------------\n drivers/net/octeontx/base/meson.build | 2 +-\n examples/meson.build | 6 +++\n lib/meson.build | 72 +++++++++++++++--------------------\n 7 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 78 deletions(-)" }
