Description Hasso Tepper 2020-10-26 11:30:52 UTC

_meson_create_cross_file() sets needs_exe_wrapper to true, but there seems to be no way to set exe wrapper program itself (exe_wrapper variable in binaries section). IMHO there should be a way to set it via environment.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to crossbuild dev-libs/gobject-introspection.

Actual Results:  
Build fails with:
Cannot use target g-ir-compiler as a generator because it is built for the
host machine and no exe wrapper is defined or needs_exe_wrapper is
true.

Just FYI, we have a work around for this in our chromiumos code: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/eclass-overlay/+/refs/heads/main/eclass/meson.eclass#155
