            Bug ID: 412477
           Summary: meson support not working when meson is a symlink
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 5.4.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Build tools: Meson
          Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: 2...@gmx.de
  Target Milestone: ---

When I try to use meson with kdevelop I always get error messages like:

/home/../project> /usr/lib64/python-exec/python-exec2 --reconfigure
/home/../project/build
/usr/lib64/python-exec/python-exec2: python-exec2 is a wrapper, it must not be
run directly.
*** Failure: Exit code 127 ***

The problem arises because kdevelop seems to resolve symlinks itself before
running the corresponding executable. But on gentoo systems python-scripts are
all symlinks to python-exec. When kdevelop resolves the symlink
/usr/bin/meson->/usr/lib64/python-exec/python-exec2 the original name is lost
and python-exec doesn't know that to do.

Solutions:
Kdevelop shouldn't resolve the symlink itself.
