We probably shouldn't be trying to install the tests or related libraries at all, so need to look into how to tell meson not to install chosen things.

It seems like meson doesn't currently provide a good way to explicitly select install behavior for a subproject (which cmocka currently is, since we're using a wrap for it). From https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10561, meson install --skip-subprojects is the intended way to do what we want.

ich_descriptors_tool isn't a subproject (it doesn't use subproject() or a wrap file), so it would be unaffected.

However, I didn't like how --skip-subprojects needs to be specified on the command line (it adds burden to users), so I've opted to hack around the issue in https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/84557 by modifying the cmocka wrap.

Plaque FCC, in case you want to try with the patch, the instructions how to download the patch are here: https://flashrom.org/dev_guide/development_guide.html#downloading-patch-from-gerrit
(you don't need to push it, you can just download)

$ git fetch https://review.coreboot.org/flashrom refs/changes/57/84557/3 && git checkout -b change-84557 FETCH_HEAD

• branch refs/changes/57/84557/3 -> FETCH_HEAD Switched to a new branch 'change-84557'

$ rm -rf builddir; meson setup builddir && meson compile -C builddir && meson test -C builddir && sudo meson install -C builddir

Actually, after removing some garbage from the directory and rebuilding from scratch, everything is working fine now.

Thank you very much!
