Meson resolves paths

Open sujona opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug When working in a directory that is a symlink (the home directory in my case), the paths of objects are resolved. I think it makes more sense to get absolute path, i.e. that given by pwd in bash, or by pathlib.Path(build).absolute() in Python. Current behavior seem to be equivalent to pathlib.Path(build).resolve() in Python.

To Reproduce

message(meson.current_build_dir())
>> Message: resolved/path/to/build # as if using resolve()

Expected behavior

message(meson.current_build_dir())
>> Message: absolute/path/to/build # as if using absolute(), or pwd from the build dir

system parameters meson 1.3.0 with ninja 1.11.1 on Ubuntu 20.04
