Recipes to move to meson or cmake

Note: some of the below might have meson ports in https://github.com/dragonCodecs - check!

Have meson ports, but recipes use autotools:

• expat (wrapdb — likely missing versioning, etc) -> !1552 (merged)
• gobject-introspection (upstream)
• gperf → !1145 (merged)
• lame (wrapdb — likely missing SIMD, versioning, etc) -> !1111 (merged)
• libass → https://github.com/libass/libass/pull/330 (merged upstream as of mid-April 2024, is in 0.17.2 release) -> !1486 (merged)
• libjpeg-turbo (wrapdb — likely missing SIMD, versioning, etc) -> !1547 (merged)
• libpng (wrapdb — likely missing SIMD, versioning, etc) -> !1548 (merged)
• librsvg -> !1444 (merged)
  • See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/merge_requests/925 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/merge_requests/957
  • Will obsolete libcroco
• libxml2 (wrapdb) -> !1380 (merged)
• openssl (wrapdb fork — missing SIMD and general correctness ready for equivalence testing in cerbero — check whether all compiler commands are equivalent)
• pkg-config → !1173 (merged) (in progress)
• tiff (wrapdb — likely missing SIMD, versioning, etc) -> !1147 (merged)
• ffmpeg - see #286 (closed)
• x264 - see #286 (closed) -> !1400 (merged)
• pixman -> !492 (merged)
• fontconfig -> !675 (merged)
• freetype → !659 (merged)
• cairo (meson build not upstream yet because we're slackers -> cairo/cairo!37 (merged)) -> !674 (merged)
• libsoup
• openh264 -- we already build with Meson in cerbero (check if meson port supports simd on x86 + ARM) -> probably needs https://github.com/cisco/openh264/pull/3247
• harfbuzz (maybe meson build is still too experimental?) - want to wait at least for v2.6.7 I think - !494 (merged)
• opus -- !560 (merged)

Have cmake ports, but recipes use autotools:

• flac (wrapdb) -> !1379 (merged)
• libogg -> !1144 (merged) (using meson wrap)
• libvorbis (wrapdb) -> !1389 (merged)
• soundtouch (wrapdb) → !930 (closed) -> !1404 (merged)

Need porting to meson:

• cdparanoia
• libdca
• libkate -> !1114 (merged)
• libshout
• libvpx -> !1230 (merged) (meson port in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/meson-ports/libvpx/)
• mpg123 -> !1568 (merged)
• opencore-amr (IMPORTANT — super slow to build) -> !1112 (merged)
• sbc -> tpm has a tentative/wip meson port here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tpm/sbc -> !1136 (merged)
• spandsp
• speex -> !1143 (merged)
• tremor -> not sure we need to ship that on Windows/non-embedded (or at all these days) -> !1103 (merged)
• vo-aacenc -> !1392 (merged)
  • fdk-aac has a cmake port and a meson port in wrapdb, but is non-free due to a license that says you cannot charge copyright license fees for anyone to use it
• zbar

Build tools that could instead use prebuilt binaries on Windows:

• bison — https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison/
• flex — https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison/
• nasm — https://www.nasm.us/

Not built on Windows can be ignored:

• libdvdread
• libdvdnav
• a52dec
