build: always build wayland-scanner
The previous idiom for building a cross-compiled Wayland is to build once for the build host (with --enable-scanner --disable-libraries) to get a wayland-scanner binary that can then be used in a cross-compile (with --disable-scanner). The problem with this is that the cross wayland is missing a wayland-scanner binary, which means you then can't do any Wayland development on the target. Instead, always build wayland-scanner for the target and change --enable/disable-scanner to --with/without-host-scanner. Normal builds use the default of --without-host-scanner and run the wayland-scanner it just built, and cross-compiled builds pass --with-host-scanner to use a previously built host scanner but still get a wayland-scanner to install. (a theoretically neater solution would be to build two scanners if required (one to run and one to install), but automake makes this overly complicated) [daniels: Bikeshedded naming with Ross's OK.] Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Stone <daniels@collabora.com>
