docs: a build plugin names the libraries its modules import in [dependencies] (mcpp 2026.10.11.1) - #520
Merged
Conversation
…dencies] (mcpp 2026.10.11.1) From mcpp 2026.10.11.1 (mcpp-community/mcpp#797) a build plugin's [dependencies] are compiled with it for the build programs that use it, and reexport = true hands one on to their build.mcpp. A plugin built on mcpp.plugins' plugins-core names it there. The [build-dependencies] entry with host-module = true, the spelling before that release, is read as a dependency as well, reported as deprecated, and no longer read from mcpp 2027.1. A [build-dependencies] edge gives the build program the library without host-module = true.

marzer.tomlpluspluskeeps its Form A descriptor and relative include. mcpp 2026.10.11.1 would accept<toml++/toml.hpp>and a Form Blibkey, but releases before it compile a build program's module without the package's include directories, and the index floor does not move for one package. Measured with 2026.10.11.1: the package in both tables, imported by the target and bybuild.mcpp, builds and runs.
