            Bug ID: 789565
           Summary: Meson: configuring meson fails when cross compiling
                    for windows
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.12.x
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: xclaesse at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

With cerbero patches from bug #789316 I can try to cross build GStreamer core
with meson.

However, the command "meson build" fails with that error:
Meson encountered an error in file docs/libs/meson.build, line 5, column 6:
Unknown variable "gst_check_dep".

This is because libs/gst/check is not included when host_machine.system() ==
'windows' but docs is only excluded when build_machine.system() == 'windows'.

In my case build_machine is linux and host_machine is windows, in that case by
default libs/gst/check is not included, so gst_check_dep is not defined, but it
wants to build doc which needs gst_check_dep.
