The change to build using Meson broke the install target, causing x52ctl
and x52d to fail with a missing libx52dcomm library. This was fixed by
setting `install: true` in the library call.
In addition, several features were used that were leftover from my
earlier attempts to migrate to Meson, but targeted older Meson versions.
Some of these features were deprecated in newer Meson versions, and
therefore, cause warnings to show up during meson setup.
GH-Issue: #63
GH-Issue-URL: https://github.com/nirenjan/libx52/issues/63
When enabling --warnlevel=3 during Meson setup, the build threw up
several warnings, mostly related to either unused parameters, or
sometimes an integer type mismatch. This commit addresses all of those
changes and ensures that the build does not contain any unnecessary
warnings.
Prior to this change, the check was for an explicit -Dnls=enabled,
however, if the option was never set, it defaulted to disabled. With
this change, unless explicitly disabled, the Meson build system will
automatically build with NLS support.
Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
