When targeting the GNU ABI, we consider `.a` libraries first but also
accept `.lib`. For symmetry, when targeting the MSVC ABI, we now
consider `.lib` first but also accept `.a`.
This adds support for meson-generated static libraries, which are named
with the pattern `lib${foo}.a`:
* https://mesonbuild.com/FAQ.html#why-does-building-my-project-with-msvc-output-static-libraries-called-libfooa
Note that this was previously attempted by
* commit be848a71b0 (MSVC: Teach find_library to consider the 'libfoo.a'
naming convention, 2022-09-19, v3.25.0-rc1~111^2)
but was reverted by
* commit 955d6245c1 (MSVC: Revert "Teach find_library to consider the
'libfoo.a' naming convention", 2022-11-28, v3.25.1~6^2)
due to problems finding GNU ABI libraries in PATH-derived prefixes.
Since then,
* commit 0a81110b84 (find_(library|file|path): Drop PATH-derived search
prefixes, 2023-09-14, v3.28.0-rc1~91^2)
removed the problematic search paths, so we can restore this change.
Fixes: #23975

--------------------------
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, when targeting the MSVC ABI, the :command:`find_library` command
|
|
now accepts ``.a`` file names after first considering ``.lib``. This is
|
|
symmetric with existing behavior when targeting the GNU ABI, in which the
|
|
command accepts ``.lib`` file names after first considering ``.a``.
