libxkbcommon 0.7.2 - 2017-08-04

  • Added a Meson build system as an alternative to existing autotools build system.

The intent is to remove the autotools build in one of the next releases. Please try to convert to it and report any problems.

See http://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html for basic usage, the meson_options.txt for the project-specific configuration options, and the PACKAGING file for more details.

There are some noteworthy differences compared to the autotools build:

  • Feature auto-detection is not performed. By default, all features are enabled (currently: docs, x11, wayland). The build fails if any of the required dependencies are not available. To disable a feature, pass -Denable-<feature>=false to meson.
  • The libraries are either installed as shared or static, as specified by the -Ddefault_library=shared/static option. With autotools, both versions are installed by default.
  • xorg-util-macros is not used.
  • A parser generator (bison/byacc) is always required - there is no fallback to pre-generated output bundled in the tarball, as there is in autotools.
  • Removed Android.mk support.
  • Removed the *-uninstalled.pc pkgconfig files.
  • Ported the interactive-wayland demo program to v6 of the xdg-shell protocol.
  • Added new keysym definitions from xproto.
  • New API:
    XKB_KEY_XF86Keyboard
    XKB_KEY_XF86WWAN
    XKB_KEY_XF86RFKill
    XKB_KEY_XF86AudioPreset
