dev-util/meson-0.50.1 fails the test test_sdl2_notfound_dependency. The (not so clear) error message of meson is: FAIL: test_sdl2_notfound_dependency (__main__.FailureTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mesonbuild.dependencies.base.DependencyException: Dependency "sdl2" not found, tried pkgconfig During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_unittests.py", line 3696, in test_sdl2_notfound_dependency self.assertMesonRaises(code, self.nopkg) File "run_unittests.py", line 3623, in assertMesonRaises self.init(self.srcdir, extra_args=extra_args, inprocess=True) AssertionError: "[Pp]kg-config.*not found" does not match "Dependency "sdl2" not found, tried pkgconfig" : dependency('foobarrr', method : 'pkg-config', required : false) dependency('foobarrr2', method : 'pkg-config', required : false) dependency('sdl2', method : 'pkg-config') The reason is that it found and used pkg-config (where it was supposed to not find pkg-config) to not find sdl2. (The test expects a "pkg-config not found" instead of a "sdl2 notf found") The reason is that the environment variable PKG_CONFIG is exported (which is done in src_test()), which somehow forces meson to use pkg-config although it is supposed to not use it (see the source of the test in run_unittests.py for details). Solution: Unset the PKG_CONFIG environment variable in python_test() before running the test suite as it is already done for the environment variables PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE and XDG_DATA_HOME.
