@fdold I could maybe take over this, but did you do any modifications to any of those libraries? I noticed that the meson scripts are not in the official release tarballs of some of those libraries, did you write them by hand?

As for qtart, however, is the situation better now in terms of separation of changes? Otherwise, I think you are the best person to tackle it, since you have a better picture of the modifications that you did to the codebase.

Ivan: maybe start with the libraries that were not modified (or where only meson scripts were added)?

The last quickjs upgrade actually went very smoothly.

The dependencies (in the subprojects/ folder) indeed use custom meson files *unless* they already come with their own meson build system.

Update: I managed to get Meson to talk to CMake, so now there is no need to maintain the hand-written Meson scripts for /all dependencies/, the only exceptions currently being curl, libsodium, and quickjs.

The upgrades, however, broke the build system for iOS, which is hand-written with Xcode, so I wrote a script (./cross/package-ios.sh) that builds and packages a ready-to-use iOS multi-arch, multi-platform library that can be directly copy/pasted into Xcode. However, due to some shortcomings of Meson (linking to an external static library, namely sqlite3, that is not built by Meson itself, see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10927), Marc decided not to use the script, so I'll leave it to him to maintain the Xcode build system, at least until the Meson limitation is sorted out.

iOS now also builds via meson.
