This replaces the absolute hack of using
```
install_subdir('nonexisting', install_dir: 'share')
```
which requires you to make sure you don't accidentally or deliberately
have a completely different directory with the same name in your source
tree that is full of files you don't want installed. It also avoids
splitting the name in two and listing them in the wrong order.
You can also set the install mode of each directory component by listing
them one at a time in order, and in fact create nested structures at
all.
Fixes mesonbuild#1604
Properly fixes mesonbuild#2904

Can you try out #9344? |

Not sure about the name...
Related to #1602, but for empty directories.
install_modeshould set the mode.Motivation:
Another option would be to extend
install_datato support an empty file list (e.g.[]as the positional arg), and addinstall_dir_modeoption. That's probably better than adding another install function.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
