|\ | | | | | | | | 7521da2 Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.
| * Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.Stephen Kelly2013-11-215-8/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* | Help: Reformat cmake-generator-expressions.7 manualStephen Kelly2013-11-211-77/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use definition lists instead of a preformatted block to enumerate the genex documentation. Consistently capitalize the description. Use ``...`` to format genex parameters in the description. Turn references to commands into links. Add high level documentation about the motivation for generator expressions. Regroup expressions into subsections for different genex types. Add a high-level description and example of the expressions in each section. Explode the documentation for filesystem artifacts, instead of only referring to the variations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Kelly2013-11-192-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

| * | | | ctest: Make the --build-makeprogram optional for --build-and-testBrad King2013-11-181-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to lookup CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM or choose a generator-provided default build tool. Therefore the --build-makeprogram can now be optional and simply override the default selection when provided. Note that with --build-nocmake we now need to load the cache in order to make the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM entry available to GenerateBuildCommand.
| * | | | 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.
| * | | | build_command: Return a "cmake --build" command-lineBrad King2013-11-151-19/+26
| | |/ / | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command will internally invoke the proper native build tool. This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.
