|
|||
|
||||
Changes made since CMake 3.0.0 include the following.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CheckFortranSourceCompiles` module was added to
|
||||
provide a ``CHECK_Fortran_SOURCE_COMPILES`` macro.
|
||||
Documentation Changes
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to interpret
|
||||
:manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` in arguments to ``DEPENDS``.
|
||||
* A new :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual was added.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`FindOpenCL` module was introduced.
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E tar`` command learned to support
|
||||
lzma-compressed files.
|
||||
Generators
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* :ref:`Object Libraries` may now have extra sources that do not
|
||||
compile to object files so long as they would not affect linking
|
||||
of a normal library (e.g. ``.dat`` is okay but not ``.def``).
|
||||
* A :generator:`Visual Studio 14` generator was added.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CMakeDetermineVSServicePack` module now warns that
|
||||
it is deprecated and should not longer be used. Use the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION` variable instead.
|
||||
Windows Phone and Windows Store
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E`` option learned a new ``env`` command.
|
||||
* Generators for Visual Studio 11 (2012) and above learned to generate
|
||||
projects for Windows Phone and Windows Store. One may set the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` variable to ``WindowsPhone``
|
||||
or ``WindowsStore`` on the :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line
|
||||
or in a :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` to activate these platforms.
|
||||
Also set :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION` to ``8.0`` or ``8.1`` to
|
||||
specify the version of Windows to be targeted.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` learned to capture output from child
|
||||
processes started by the :command:`execute_process` command
|
||||
and display it in the output window.
|
||||
NVIDIA Nsight Tegra
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* The :module:`CMakePackageConfigHelpers` module
|
||||
:command:`configure_package_config_file` command learned a new
|
||||
``INSTALL_PREFIX`` option to generate package configuration files
|
||||
meant for a prefix other than :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.
|
||||
* Generators for Visual Studio 10 (2010) and above learned to generate
|
||||
projects for NVIDIA Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition. One may set
|
||||
the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` variable to ``Android`` on the
|
||||
:manual:`cmake(1)` command-line or in a :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`
|
||||
to activate this platform.
|
||||
|
||||
* Policy :policy:`CMP0052` introduced to control directories in the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` of exported targets.
|
||||
Syntax
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-language(7)` syntax for :ref:`Variable References` and
|
||||
:ref:`Escape Sequences` was simplified in order to allow a much faster
|
||||
implementation. See policy :policy:`CMP0053`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`if` command no longer automatically dereferences
|
||||
variables named in quoted or bracket arguments. See policy
|
||||
:policy:`CMP0054`.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`add_custom_command` command learned to interpret
|
||||
:manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` in arguments to ``DEPENDS``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`export(PACKAGE)` command learned to check the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` variable to skip
|
||||
exporting the package.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`file(STRINGS)` command gained a new ``ENCODING``
|
||||
option to enable extraction of ``UTF-8`` strings.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`find_package` command learned to check the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` and
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY`
|
||||
variables to skip searching the package registries.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`install` command learned a ``MESSAGE_NEVER`` option
|
||||
to avoid output during installation.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`string` command learned a new ``GENEX_STRIP`` subcommand
|
||||
which removes
|
||||
:manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :command:`string` command learned a new ``UUID`` subcommand
|
||||
to generate a univerally unique identifier.
|
||||
|
||||
* New :command:`target_compile_features` command allows populating the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`COMPILE_FEATURES` target property, just like any other
|
||||
build variable.

||||
|
||||
* The :command:`target_sources` command was added to add to the
|
||||
:prop_tgt:`SOURCES` target property.
|

|
||||
Variables
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* The Visual Studio generators for versions 8 (2005) and above
|
||||
learned to read the target platform name from a new
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable when it is
|
||||
not specified as part of the generator name. The platform
|
||||
name may be specified on the :manual:`cmake(1)` command line
|
||||
with the ``-A`` option, e.g. ``-G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -A x64``.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` variable may now be
|
||||
initialized in a toolchain file specified by the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` variable. This is useful
|
||||
when cross-compiling with the Xcode or Visual Studio
|
||||
generators.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE` variable was introduced to
|
||||
optionally reduce output installation.
|
||||
|
||||
Properties
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* New :prop_tgt:`CXX_STANDARD` and :prop_tgt:`CXX_EXTENSIONS` target
|

|
||||
|
||||
* A :generator:`Visual Studio 14` generator was added.
|
||||
* The :module:`CMakeDetermineVSServicePack` module now warns that
|
||||
it is deprecated and should not longer be used. Use the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION` variable instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Visual Studio generators for versions 8 (2005) and above
|
||||
learned to read the target platform name from a new
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable when it is
|
||||
not specified as part of the generator name. The platform
|
||||
name may be specified on the :manual:`cmake(1)` command line
|
||||
with the ``-A`` option, e.g. ``-G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -A x64``.
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
* Visual Studio generators for VS 8 and later learned to support
|
||||
the ``ASM_MASM`` language.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-gui(1)` learned to capture output from child
|
||||
processes started by the :command:`execute_process` command
|
||||
and display it in the output window.
|
||||
|
||||
* Generators for Visual Studio 10 (2010) and above learned to generate
|
||||
projects for NVIDIA Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition. One may set
|
||||
the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` variable to ``Android`` on the
|
||||
:manual:`cmake(1)` command-line or in a :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`
|
||||
to activate this platform.
|
||||
* The :manual:`cmake-language(7)` internal implementation of generator
|
||||
expression and list expansion parsers have been optimized and shows
|
||||
non-trivial speedup on large projects.
|
||||
|
||||
* A :prop_sf:`VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT` source file property was added
|
||||
to tell the Visual Studio generators to mark content for deployment
|
||||
in Windows Phone and Windows Store projects.
|
||||
* The Makefile generators learned to use response files with GNU tools
|
||||
on Windows to pass library directories and names to the linker.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Visual Studio generators learned to treat ``.hlsl`` source
|
||||
files as High Level Shading Language sources (using ``FXCompile``
|
||||
in ``.vcxproj`` files). A :prop_sf:`VS_SHADER_TYPE` source file
|
||||
property was added to specify the Shader Type.
|
||||
* When generating linker command-lines, CMake now avoids repeating
|
||||
items corresponding to SHARED library targets.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :prop_tgt:`VS_WINRT_COMPONENT` target property was created to
|
||||
tell Visual Studio generators to compile a shared library as a
|
||||
Windows Runtime (WinRT) component.
|
||||
|
||||
* Generators for Visual Studio 11 (2012) and above learned to generate
|
||||
projects for Windows Phone and Windows Store. One may set the
|
||||
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` variable to ``WindowsPhone``
|
||||
or ``WindowsStore`` on the :manual:`cmake(1)` command-line
|
||||
or in a :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` to activate these platforms.
|
||||
Also set :variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION` to ``8.0`` or ``8.1`` to
|
||||
specify the version of Windows to be targeted.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :manual:`cpack(1)` ``WiX`` generator learned to support
|
||||
a :prop_inst:`CPACK_WIX_ACL` installed file property to
|
||||
specify an Access Control List.
|
||||
|
||||
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator learned to check source
|
||||
file properties :prop_sf:`XCODE_EXPLICIT_FILE_TYPE` and
|
||||
:prop_sf:`XCODE_LAST_KNOWN_FILE_TYPE` for a custom Xcode
|
||||
file reference type.
|
||||
* Support for the Open Watcom compiler has been overhauled.
|
||||
The :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` is now ``OpenWatcom``,
|
||||
and the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION` now uses
|
||||
the Open Watcom external version numbering. The external
|
||||
version numbers are lower than the internal version number
|
||||
by 11.
