[PATCH v2] gtk: disable GTK Clipboard with a new meson option
Posted by Claudio Fontana 1 year, 5 months ago
The GTK Clipboard implementation may cause guest hangs.

Therefore implement new configure switch: --enable-gtk-clipboard,

as a meson option disabled by default, which warns in the help
text about the experimental nature of the feature.
Regenerate the meson build options to include it.

The initialization of the clipboard is gtk.c, as well as the
compilation of gtk-clipboard.c are now conditional on this new
option to be set.

v1 -> v2:

* fixed a too long line in scripts/meson-buildoptions.sh (checkpatch)

* meson.build: set have_gtk_clipboard variable once, avoid duplication (Jim)

* mention the warnings about experimental nature of the feature in commit

Compile-tested only. Oh, and ensured './configure --help' contained your text :-).
