Worked on the canonical/mir repository to improve build system reliability and streamline dependency management. Focused on resolving a critical linking issue between the mircommoninput and miral-external components, the developer addressed a missing dependency by updating the CMakeLists.txt to include PkgConfig::XKBCOMMON in the target link libraries. This change, implemented using CMake and pkg-config, resulted in more stable builds and reduced continuous integration failures, benefiting downstream projects and easing onboarding for new contributors. The work demonstrated attention to build configuration details and effective maintenance of multi-target build scripts, contributing to a cleaner and more dependable development workflow.
April 2026 monthly summary for the canonical/mir project focusing on build system reliability and dependency management. Key features delivered: build-system hardening to ensure correct linking between mircommoninput and miral-external. Major bugs fixed: resolved missing linking by adding PkgConfig::XKBCOMMON to the target link libraries in CMakeLists.txt. Overall impact: more stable builds, reduced CI failures, and smoother downstream usage for dependent components. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CMake configuration, pkg-config integration, dependency linking, and build-script maintenance, enabling cleaner multi-target builds and easier onboarding for new contributors.
