To run unit-test (meson) on cross-compilation, we need a wrapper to run
the binary (wine, qemu, ...), but:
- We have no emulator for android (we have one for the system, but we can't
simply run a binary)
- With dynamic compilation, it seems pretty complex to configure them
correctly.
- For mingw32 compilation, `wine` need to be correctly configured to
find dll from the system mingw32 installation.
Cmake use the 'Windows' name to detect we are building to Windows but
meson use the lowered 'windows' string.
So we need to lower the system declared in the cross-env when generating
the meson cross_file.
'properties' is too close of the meson definition and we need to duplicate
the entries for 'c_link_args' and 'cpp_link_args'.
By using 'extra_libs' we have a more functional definition of what we want.
If ccache is availble, use it. It can improve a lot the compilation time.
We do not change the meson_cross_file.txt as, for now, meson doesn't
support ccache when cross-compiling.
We cannot install it on travis (for now ?) and we don't use it anyway.
This have somehow to be fixed as the wine tool will be necessary to test
binaries and we want tests.
Fedora provides a set of (powerfull) tools to correctly pass the right
options to compilation tools (configure, cmake, ...)
This is great but we must not use them as we want to cross-compile from
other distribution (ubuntu).
Now, we do not use those tools and we can easily port cross-compilation to
ubuntu.
