meson: Set libdir to avoid the Debian multiarch autodetection (1.64 KB, patch)
2016-09-27 14:15 UTC, Emanuele Aina 		committed Details | Review

Description Emanuele Aina 2016-09-27 14:15:04 UTC 
Meson uses `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH` on Debian-derived
distributions to detect the multiarch-enabled directory where to install
libraries.

JHBuild does not uses that and makes Meson-built packages unreachable
from a ld.so and pkg-config standpoint when used on multiarch-enabled
Debian-derived distributions.

Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-09-28 08:19:11 UTC 
This just came up on IRC. Bumping severity since it means the jhbuild meson-built GStreamer won't be found by other modules (gst-plugins-base etc.).
Comment 3 Emanuele Aina 2016-09-28 10:21:03 UTC 
The following fix has been pushed:
