Description
Hi,
I've got:
gmime3 = dependency ('gmime-3.0', required : false)
gmime2 = dependency ('gmime-2.6', required : false)
if gmime3.found ()
gmime = gmime3
gmime_gir = 'GMime-3.0'
elif gmime2.found ()
gmime = gmime2
gmime_gir = 'GMime-2.6'
else
error ('neither gmime3 or gmime2 available')
gmime_gir = ''
endif
deps = [ gmime ]
if gmime2 or gmime3 is installed/un-installed ninja reconfigure does not reliably detect the change. E.g. uninstalling gmime3, and installing gmime2 still tries to use gmime3 build commands. Have to delete dir and re-configure. Seems to sometimes work the other way.. which keeps breaking my separate build dir.
