When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by
full path. However, some projects had problems on platforms where
find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really
wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by
accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link.
We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library
to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by
returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories. This
caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a
full path. We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (...
switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l,
2008-01-31). However, the special case for libraries in implicit link
directories has also proven problematic and confusing.
Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path
even if they are in implicit link directories. Explain in the policy
documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to
this approach.
Prefix test commands with the CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR property
for target executables. This allows test suites to be run on the host
when crosscompiling.
If the CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable is defined, and
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is TRUE, then use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to run
the try_run executables. This prevents the need to populate
TryRunResults.cmake when cross compiling.
Extend sentences in other documentation linking to this manual to
say that it has a list of supported compilers.

Add CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR target property for executables. This is used by
subsequent patches to run exectuables created for the target system when
crosscompiling. The property is initialized by the
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable when defined.

Many places in our documentation refer to "Makefile Generators" or
"Visual Studio" generators as a group of generators. Give such
places a linkable document section to reference since they cannot
cross-reference the individual generators in the groups.
Explain at the beginning of the section the requirements for a package
to be relocatable to justify the rest of the section content.
Generalize example to use fictional package names instead of real ones,
especially because FindBoost provides no alternative yet. Reword the
discussion to represent the preferred approach as "ideal" but also
suggest workarounds when find modules do not provide the imported
targets.
Re-organize the content added to the cmake-packages(7) manual by
* commit v3.0.0-rc1~184^2 (Help: Document export(EXPORT) in the
cmake-packages manual, 2013-12-23),
* commit v3.0.0-rc1~154^2~1 (Help: Add notes about relocatability
of config-file packages, 2014-01-07), and
* commit v3.2.0-rc1~345^2 (Help: Warn that paths should not be used
in INTERFACE_ build properties, 2014-11-22).
These commits broke the natural flow of the original manual and made
wording after the new content make less sense. Move the content into
new subsections to restore the flow of the original manual and to
make explicitly the purpose of the new content.
Shorten the relocatable usage requirement "warnings". Refer to the
new cmake-packages(7) manual subsection to reduce duplication. Also
clarify the distinction between paths to library dependencies and
paths to their header files.
These notes apply only for the use case of creating a package for
redistribution on machines other than that where it is built. Clarify
this to readers by placing the discussion in dedicated sections titled
accordingly.
Beginning in CUDA 5.5 a static version of the cuda runtime library
became available. Since nvcc defaults to using this library over the
shared version, FindCUDA will also default to using this version. There
are many advantages to using the static version (most importantly to
avoid conflicts with multiple versions when building a CUDA based
library). Offer a CUDA_USE_STATIC_CUDA_RUNTIME option to control
this behavior.
Add policy CMP0059 to cover this change. The property has been
deprecated since CMake 2.4 anyway.
This will help clean up cmMakefile -- the DefineFlagsOrig member should
not need to exist.
Much of the information in the old set() command documentation is now
covered in the cmake-language(7) manual. Rewrite the documentation
with this in mind. Split up the signatures for each kind of variable
into different subsections.
Make wording of the directory and target properties more consitent
and complementary. Specify that the value is a ";-list" with a link
to the cmake-language(7) manual section on lists.
Revert commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2~20 (add_dependencies: Disallow use with
INTERFACE_LIBRARY, 2013-12-25). Teach our dependency analysis to
transitively follow INTERFACE target utility dependencies as was done or
IMPORTED targets in commit v2.8.6~127^2~1 (Allow add_dependencies() on
imported targets, 2010-11-19). Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with a
case to cover header generation for a header-only INTERFACE library via
a custom target.
Extend the ``DATA{Dir/,...}`` syntax with a new ``RECURSE:`` option
to enable recursive matching of associated files. This will allow
an entire directory tree of data to be referenced at once.

Add policy CMP0058 to avoid generating 'phony' ninja rules for unknown
custom command dependencies. This requires projects to specify their
custom command byproducts explicitly. With this requirement we no
longer have to assume that unknown custom command dependencies are
generated and can instead simply assume they are source files expected
to exist when the build starts. This is particularly important in
in-source builds. It is also helpful for out-of-source builds to allow
Ninja to diagnose missing files before running custom command rules that
depend on them.
GLOB lists directories by default and GLOB_RECURSE does not.
LIST_DIRECTORIES enables user to control the behavior explicitly for
consistently for both GLOB and GLOB_RECURSE.
Implement a brand new FindMatlab module:
- Add support for versions and components.
- Find Matlab and its version in a more precise and multiplatform way.
- Add API to create a new mex extension with documentation.
- Add API to add matlab unit tests (with or without the unit test framework).
- Find as much as possible based on a single Matlab_ROOT_DIR cache entry
and allow the user to change it to re-find everything.

Since jsoncpp 0.7.0 (2014-11-20) the upstream may provide a CMake
package configuration file such that find_package(jsoncpp) will find a
jsoncppConfig.cmake file. In order to avoid conflicting with this
(especially on case-insensitive filesystems), and since we always prefer
projects to provide package config files (that they maintain), it is
better to not provide FindJsonCpp publicly.
Move FindJsonCpp into a private source directory that is not installed
so that we can still use it for building CMake itself.
Reported-by: Ryan Pavlik <ryan.pavlik@gmail.com>
The find_package command already knows how to compute installation
prefixes from PATH. Use the same approach to establish prefixes for
find_library, find_file, and find_path to use to look in directories
like "<prefix>/lib[/<arch>]" and "<prefix>/include" for libraries and
headers. This will reduce the amount of configuration end users need to
do to establish a work environment rooted under a specific prefix.
