Some commands on Windows do not understand forward slash paths and
require backslashes. In order to help projects generate shell
invocations of such commands, provide a generator expression to convert
paths to the shell-preferred path format for the current generator.
This will allow custom commands to generate paths the same way CMake
does for compiler command invocations.
The latter is now the preferred URL for visiting cmake.org with a
browser. Convert using the shell code:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's|http://www\.cmake|https://cmake|g'
In the Ninja generator we run all build rules from the top of the build
tree rather than changing into each subdirectory. Therefore we convert
all paths relative to the HOME_OUTPUT directory. However, the Convert
method on cmLocalGenerator restricts relative path conversions to avoid
leaving the build tree with a "../" sequence. Therefore conversions
performed for "subdirectories" that are outside the top of the build
tree always use full paths while conversions performed for
subdirectories that are inside the top of the build tree may use
relative paths to refer to the same files.
Since Ninja always runs rules from the top of the build tree we should
convert them using only the top-level cmLocalGenerator in order to
remain consistent. Also extend the test suite with a case that fails
without this fix.
The changes in commit 47b060ae (CPackDeb: allow empty directories in
component packages, 2015-09-21), commit b58de9fe (CPack: allow packaging
of empty directories, 2015-09-21), and commit b761e90d (CPack: remove
accidental changes, 2015-09-22) regressed packaging of CMake itself.
Revert the changes until they can be revised and rebased on other
changes that make additional fixes.
8bfff686 cmLocalGenerator: Compute object max path on construction.
2c2479fb cmGlobalGenerator: Create all local generators after Configure().
194bb068 cmGlobalGenerator: Remove unused method.
c5f07e05 cmGlobalGenerator: Create local generators after all makefiles configured.
dd408de4 cmGlobalGenerator: Create local generator after configuring the makefile.
8a88089b cmMakefile: Create the local generator after configuring the makefile.
934aa454 Makefiles: Remove need to create local generator at configure time.
61b48e70 Makefiles: Port to cmOutputConverter.
In TryCompileCode we construct an internal argv[] vector that needs to
have a fake argv[0] so our internal cmake command line looks like a real
command line. Fix construction of the fake argv[0] when try_compile is
called without the CMAKE_FLAGS argument. Otherwise the first internal
-DVAR=val argument that we use to pass information like
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is ignored.
The changes in commit c96fe0b4 (cmake: Add -W options to control
deprecation warnings and errors, 2015-07-28) fail to account for
-Wdev warnings produced by places in CMake other than message().
This causes a regression in which -Wno-dev fails to suppress such
warnings. Revert the feature until it can be revised accordingly.
