In commit
d895e10a a test was introduced to validate that prefix is a
child of rootprefix. However, it only works when rootprefix is "/".
Since the test is ignored when rootprefix is equal to prefix, this is
only noticed if specifying both -Drootprefix= and -Dprefix=, e.g.:
$ meson foo -Drootprefix=/foo -Dprefix=/foo/bar
meson.build:111:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: Prefix is not below
root prefix (now rootprefix=/foo prefix=/foo/bar)
if not prefixdir.startswith('/')
error('Prefix is not absolute: "@0@"'.format(prefixdir))
endif
-if prefixdir != rootprefixdir and not prefixdir.startswith(rootprefixdir.strip('/') + '/')
+if prefixdir != rootprefixdir and rootprefixdir != '/' and not prefixdir.strip('/').startswith(rootprefixdir.strip('/') + '/')
error('Prefix is not below root prefix (now rootprefix=@0@ prefix=@1@)'.format(
rootprefixdir, prefixdir))
endif
