Custom target methods

custom_tgt.[index]()

Returns an opaque object that references this target, and can be used as a source in other targets. When it is used as such it will make that target depend on this custom target, but the only source added will be the one that corresponds to the index of the custom target's output argument.

custom_idx [index]()

custom_tgt.full_path()

Returns a full path pointing to the result target file NOTE: In most cases using the object itself will do the same job as this and will also allow Meson to setup inter-target dependencies correctly. Please file a bug if that doesn't work for you. (since 0.54.0) It can be also called on indexes objects: custom_targets[i].full_path().

str full_path()

custom_tgt.to_list()

Returns a list of opaque objects that references this target, and can be used as a source in other targets. This can be used to iterate outputs with foreach loop.
