Description Guillaume Desmottes 2017-04-26 14:36:56 UTC 
I'd like to build gst-omx as a gst-build subproject so I enabled it:
$ mesonconf build/ -D disable_gst_omx=false

But when trying to build it complains about the target not being specified:

Meson encountered an error in file subprojects/gst-omx/meson.build, line 230, column 2:
Error encountered: Unsupported omx target specified. Use the -Dwith_omx_target option

I tried defining it but the option doesn't exit at this stage:

$ mesonconf build/ -D gst-omx:with_omx_target=generic
Meson configurator encountered an error:

Unknown option gst-omx:with_omx_target.

I would be good to show how to do this in the README. I'd be happy to update it if one can show me the right trick. :)

There seems to be something slightly wrong in meson with this that you're hitting.

Using meson builddir -Ddisable_gst_omx=false -Dgst-omx:with_omx_target=generic instead of changing things with mesonconf works exactly as specified.

Thanks. That indeed seems to do the trick but I'm now hitting bug #782382
