Using Generator with static_library

[asschmidt]

Currently I'm using Meson to build some example projects for my lectures. This includes low-level assembly with GNU Assembler and GNU ld with linker files for different outputs (e.g. Raw Binary and ELF).

So far I've used a generator to create object files from my assembly sources (there are multiple files with different assembly options). This works pretty good and I'm using a custom target to call the linker with the desired flags and options. But now I would like to bundle some object files generated by my "assembler generator" into a static library. Unfortunately, the static_library() doesn't support a generated list as objects parameter.

Now my question is: What would be a good way to realize the assembly and static_library combination?

This does not work:

libapi_object_files = asm_gen.process(libapi_source_files)
libapi = static_library('libapi', objects: libapi_object_files)

My Generator:

gas_ags_32bit = ['-g', '-march=i386', '--32', '-msyntax=intel']
gas = find_program('as')

asm_gen = generator(gas, 
  output: '@BASENAME@.o',
  arguments: gas_ags_32bit + ['@INPUT@', '-o', '@OUTPUT@'])

stage1_source_dir  = 'src/bootloader/stage1/'
stage1_source_files = files(stage1_source_dir + 'boot_stage1.asm')

stage1_object_files = asm_gen.process(stage1_source_files)`

stage1_link_bin  = custom_target('stage1_bin',
  input   : [stage1_linker_file, stage1_object_files],
  output  : [stage1_output_map, stage1_output_file],
  command : [ld, stage1_linker_args,
                     '-Map', '@OUTPUT0@',
                     '-T', '@INPUT0@',
                     '-o', '@OUTPUT1@',
                     '@INPUT1@'],
   depends : stage1_link_elf)

My fault....there was a problem with my configuration and it seems that Meson support the generated list as input for objects of static_library
