Visual Studio 14 (2015) complains if a static character array is
declared with more than 65535 elements. This limit should be large
enough for SharedForward clients, so just hard-code that instead of
trying to compute a limit.
When building on Cygwin without -mwin32, the _WIN32 macro may not be
defined. SharedForward must still set the PATH environment variable to
ensure runtime dependencies are found.
The 'ldd' wrapping feature uses 'cygcheck' for now since a real ldd tool
is not available in Cygwin 1.5. We can change to use the real ldd when
we choose to stop supporting legacy Cygwin and require 1.7.
The SharedForward header contains a preprocessor table mapping from
platform to equivalents for ldd and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This commit fixes
the table preprocessor directives to guarantee at most one platform.
This generalizes the commit "Fix compilation of VTK on debian/sparc".
This converts the KWSys license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the KWSys copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This adds another cast to avoid pointer conversion warnings.
Unfortunately C does not recognize implicit conversions that add
cv-qualifiers as well as C++ does.
In SharedForward, the call to execvp warned on MinGW because the
signature declared in process.h has an extra const. We use an explicit
cast to convert the pointer type.
To detect when the launcher is running from the build tree we now test
if the directory containing it is the same as the build-tree directory
using an inode test instead of string comparison. This makes it more
robust on case-insensitive filesystems and other quirky situations.
