* VS: Add option to put INSTALL target in .sln default buildRobert Goulet2015-05-061-0/+1

* Help: Revise buildsystem artifact file type documentation (#15539)Brad King2015-04-292-2/+72
| | | | | | Add sections to the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual and cross-reference them with relevant variables and target properties. This avoids duplicating the information and allows it to be more detailed.
* ctest: Consolidate documentation of CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS (#15533)Brad King2015-04-281-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | The documentation of this variable in the CTest module is outdated and has been superseded by the ctest(1) manual. In particular, the latter mentions that it works with the Ninja generator as well as makefile generators. Remove the documentation from the CTest module and replace it with a link to the main variable documentation (which already references the ctest(1) manual).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Green Hills MULTI is an IDE for embedded real-time systems. The IDE's product page can be found here: http://www.ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html It supports cross compiling on ARM, Intel x86, and other architectures with various operating systems. The IDE exists on Linux and Windows host systems, but CMake will currently only generate the project files on Windows host systems.
* | Help: Fix {GIT,P4}UpdateCustom documentation (#15512)Brad King2015-04-131-2/+2

Fix the incorrect documentation originally added by commit v3.1.0-rc1~463^2 (Help: Document ctest dashboard client usage, 2014-05-30).

| * Link libraries by full path even in implicit directoriesBrad King2015-04-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by full path. However, some projects had problems on platforms where find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link. We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories. This caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a full path. We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (... switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l, 2008-01-31). However, the special case for libraries in implicit link directories has also proven problematic and confusing. Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path even if they are in implicit link directories. Explain in the policy documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to this approach.

| * Help: Update discussion of relocable packages in cmake-packages(7)Brad King2015-04-031-20/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Explain at the beginning of the section the requirements for a package to be relocatable to justify the rest of the section content. Generalize example to use fictional package names instead of real ones, especially because FindBoost provides no alternative yet. Reword the discussion to represent the preferred approach as "ideal" but also suggest workarounds when find modules do not provide the imported targets.

These commits broke the natural flow of the original manual and made wording after the new content make less sense. Move the content into new subsections to restore the flow of the original manual and to make explicitly the purpose of the new content. Shorten the relocatable usage requirement "warnings". Refer to the new cmake-packages(7) manual subsection to reduce duplication. Also clarify the distinction between paths to library dependencies and paths to their header files.

| * Ninja: Add policy to require explicit custom command byproductsBrad King2015-03-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add policy CMP0058 to avoid generating 'phony' ninja rules for unknown custom command dependencies. This requires projects to specify their custom command byproducts explicitly. With this requirement we no longer have to assume that unknown custom command dependencies are generated and can instead simply assume they are source files expected to exist when the build starts. This is particularly important in in-source builds. It is also helpful for out-of-source builds to allow Ninja to diagnose missing files before running custom command rules that depend on them.
