* MSVC: Add properties to configure compiler PDB files (#14762)Brad King2014-02-262-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files 2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY properties. Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files. Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more important. Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and "COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.
* Change version scheme to use only two components for feature levelsBrad King2014-02-192-9/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically CMake used three version components for the feature level. We released new features while incrementing only the third version component. Since commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow, 2010-04-23) we used the fourth version component for bug-fix releases and the development date: <major>.<minor>.<patch>[.<tweak>][-rc<n>] = Release <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>] = Development This solidified use of three components for the feature level, and was necessary to continue releasing 2.x versions because: * Some existing projects performed floating-point comparisons of ${CMAKE_MAJOR_VERSION}.${CMAKE_MINOR_VERSION} to 2.x numbers so ``x`` could never be higher than 9. * Version 2.9.<date> was used briefly in post-2.8.0 development in CVS prior to the transition to Git, so using it in releases may have caused confusion. Now that we are moving to 3.x versions, these two restrictions go away. Therefore we now change to use only two components for the feature level and use the scheme: <major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<n>] = Release <major>.<minor>.<date>[-<id>] = Development
* Help: Expand documentation of CMAKE_VERSION and related variablesBrad King2014-02-055-20/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | Describe the meaning of each version component in more detail in the documentation of CMAKE_VERSION. Simplify the per-component version variable documentation by referencing the main variable. Include information about how to compare version strings. Also add an historical note about the version scheme used prior to commit v2.8.2~105^2~4 (New version scheme to support branchy workflow, 2010-04-23).
* project: Manage VERSION variablesBrad King2014-01-2910-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach the project() command to set variables {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK} holding the project version number and its components. Add project() command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default to the empty string when it is not given. Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves prior to calling project(). Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility. Suggested-by: Alex Neundorf <neundorf@kde.org>

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Transitively consume the property from linked dependents. Implement configuration-specific support by following the pattern set out for compile definitions and includes in cmQtAutoGenerators. Implement support for origin-tracking with CMAKE_DEBUG_TARGET_PROPERTIES. This is motivated by the needs of KDE, which provides a separate translation system based on gettext instead of the Qt linguist translation system. The Qt uic tool provides command line options for configuring the method used to translate text, and to add an include directive to the generated file to provide the method. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.frameworks/7930/focus=7992 Implement the interface to provide the uic options as a usage-requirement on the KI18n target, as designed for KDE.
* | Ninja: job pool support for compiling and linkingPeter Kümmel2013-11-252-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | Could be tested by setting the environment variable NINJA_STATUS=[%r]
* | Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.Stephen Kelly2013-11-213-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This variable can be useful in cross-compiling contexts where the sysroot is read-only or where the sysroot should otherwise remain pristine. If the new CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable is set, it is used instead of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when generating the installation rules in cmake_install.cmake. This way, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable always refers to the installation prefix on the target device, regardless of whether host==target. If any -rpath paths passed to the linker contain the CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX, the matching path fragments are replaced with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Matching paths in the -rpath-link are not transformed. The cross-prefix usr-move workaround is assumed not to require extension regarding CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX. The staging area is a single prefix, so there is no scope for cross-prefix symlinks. The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is still used to determine the workaround path, and that variable remains the relevant one even if CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX is used. If the generated export files are deployed to the target, the workaround will still be in place, and still be employed if required.

| * Add CMAKE_SYSROOT variable to set --sysroot when cross compiling.Stephen Kelly2013-11-191-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is introduced, which is never a list. The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating RPATH information.
| * Allow toolchain files to specify an external toolchain.Stephen Kelly2013-11-191-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clang can compile code, but uses the gcc tools for other tasks such as linking. The -gcc-toolchain option can be used for that, but generalize so that other compilers can be treated the same. If such a location is specified, use it as a hint for finding the binutils executables.
| * Add compiler target compile options.Stephen Kelly2013-11-191-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf) set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang") set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple}) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++") set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple}) or set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le) set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc) set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch}) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC) set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch}) Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s. When cross-compiling with clang, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET as the _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX to find the appropriate binutils. When cross-compiling with QNX qcc, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET to set the appropriate _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX.

* | Prefer CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM over CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL (#14548)Brad King2013-11-182-11/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio generators, respectively. Later the VS generators started using the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias. Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the other way around. Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules. Nothing needs to lookup CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.
* Refactor tool selection for edit_cache (#14544)Brad King2013-11-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake. Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra" generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.
