描述

Similar to what some distros have for missing commands:

$ jython
bash: jython: command not found...
Install package 'jython' to provide command 'jython'? [N/y]

This will really improve the 'build a project for the first time' experience, which is pretty shit for all build systems in the world right now, as detailed in https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/985#issuecomment-267258425.

Must also include an option for disabling this when building in CI, for instance.

研究方向: Start by examining the current dependency detection logic in Meson, likely in the `mesonbuild` module. Review the linked issue #985 and the comments in this issue for design ideas. Investigate how package managers like apt and yum provide missing command suggestions. Consider implementing a prompt that queries the package database and offers installation. Ensure there is an option to disable for CI.
