just an idea ...

  • parse the top-level meson.build file with muon/src/lang/parser.c
  • find calls to dependency and executable (docs)
  • if has dependencies, add dependency pkg-config

bonus points:

  • parse option calls from meson_options.txt file
  • parse conditions
  • translate dependencies to nixpkgs names

    cheap win: parse project version from meson.build file

    example:
    https://github.com/frida/vala/blob/62ee2b101a5e5f37ce2a073fdb36e7f6ffb553d1/meson.build#L1

    project('vala',
	'c', 'vala',
	version: '0.58.0-frida',
	meson_version: '>= 0.47.0',
	license: 'LGPL2.1'
)

    in this example, the project has no git tags (see also #19), so when using the latest commit, the version would be something like unstable-2022-11-07

    a version like 0.58.0-frida-unstable-2022-11-07 is more useful to see API/ABI compatibility (semantic versioning)

    see also RFC 107
