Commit 82c081ba (Fix rpath-link flag for SunPro C++ on Linux,
2009-07-13) taught CMake to pass '-rpath-link' because SunPro C++ 5.9
does not support '-Wl,'. Now SunPro C++ 5.11 does not recognize the
option without using '-Wl,'. Detect whether to use '-Wl,' based on the
output of "sunCC -flags".
The ENABLE_EXPORTS property exports all symbols from executables on
UNIX-like platforms, typically for use by plugins. Honor this behavior
on Cygwin. See issue #10122.
Map to the platform and compiler information for GNU because the
compilers are command-line compatible for common operations. Later we
can add Clang-specific features as necessary. We honor the preferred
capitalization is "Clang", not the common mis-spelling "CLang".
The expectation of users of the MSVC60, MSVC70, MSVC71, MSVC80, MSVC90
and the new MSVC10 variables is that at most one of them will be set
for any given build tree. This change enforces that expectation for
build trees using Makefile generators. It also fixes the one mismatch
in that expectation to be found in the Visual Studio generator world:
previously, the VS 7.1 generator would set *both* MSVC70 and MSVC71;
now, it only sets MSVC71.
With these changes, user expectations are now met, and the recently
introduced CheckCompilerRelatedVariables test should pass everywhere.
As reported on the mailing list, find_path/file/library/program() basically don't work
at all if CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is set and searching in the host system directories
is disabled. This patch adds /include, /lib and /bin to the search directories, so they
will be appended to CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH so this will work for the "Generic" platform (embedded
systems without OS)

Detect the runtime linker's search path and add to the compile time
linker's search path. This is needed because OpenBSD's static linker
does not search for shared library dependencies in the same places as
the runtime linker.
Commit "Modernize GNU compiler info on Windows" (2009-12-02) reorganized
GNU flags on Windows but let -fPIC slip through for compilation of
objects in shared libraries. While this flag is valid on most GNU
compiler platforms we need to suppress it in Windows-GNU.cmake just as
we already do in CYGWIN-GNU.cmake.
In commit "use export all symbols on cygwin" (2003-01-21) we started
passing -Wl,--export-all-symbols when linking shared libraries. Now
cygwin exports all symbols automatically if no symbols are explicitly
exported. When symbols are explicitly exported we want to honor that
narrow interface. Therefore this flag should not be passed.
Change based on patch from issue #10122.
The variable should contain the name of a library needed to link the
symbol equivalent to dlopen. On Cygwin no special library is needed,
and certainly not "gdi32".
Change based on patch from issue #10122.
While Cygwin supports linking directly to .dll files, the behavior is
now discouraged. All Cygwin packages now provide import libraries of
the form lib*.dll.a and CMake has built the import libraries for years.
We believe it is now safe to stop explicitly searching for .dll files
because their import libraries will always be available when the
corresponding header files are available. Users can always set
find_library cache entries to point at a .dll file by hand if they
really must use one.
Change based on patch from issue #10122.
Commit "Find locally installed software first" made /usr/local the first
prefix searched to be consistent with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
The standard also implies that the root prefix "/" should not have any
package or development files. The "/bin" and "/lib" directories should
have only minimal contents to boot the system. No "/include" ever
exists. This commit re-orders the search path prefix list from
/usr/local
/
/usr
to
/usr/local
/usr
/
to prefer package and development files over low-level system files.
See issue #10136.
On Cygwin /usr/lib == /lib and /usr/bin == /bin. This change also makes
search results report locations as "/usr/..." instead of "/lib/...".
See issue #10122.
The commit "Drop -rdynamic from Linux build rules" removed default use
of the flag on Linux. It was expected to be compatible because any
project using plugins should set ENABLE_EXPORTS on its executables to
export their symbols for use by the plugins in a cross-platform way.
However, it is possible to build without ENABLE_EXPORTS and load plugins
that do not link to any symbols from the executable explicitly. These
plugins may need to see RTTI and other executable symbols needed by the
language implementation. Executables using such plugins were broken by
the change.
If we want to remove the -rdynamic flag in the future we should do so in
a compatible way. At that time we should also remove equivalent flags
on other platforms (like -bexpall on AIX). We will either need a policy
or an explicit API to disable symbol exports on executables.
The primary purpose of the above-mentioned commit was to avoid passing
the -rdynamic flag to compilers on Linux that do not support it. In
this commit we restore the flag but only on GNU and Intel compilers
which are known to support it.
See issue #9985.
Default to "" for CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET if CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is set. Also, add new error message to detect the case where there is a deployment target, but no SDK has been set. Fix args to STRING REGEX call so that it works even if _sdk_path variable is empty inside sanity check function.
We remove the shared library compile/link flags "-fPIC" and "-shared"
because they are not provided by all compilers on Linux. This allows us
to drop code from the Linux-XL-*.cmake files that erases the bad flags.
All other supported compilers already provide their correct flags for
Linux in their own platform information files.
We factor flags from Platform/Linux-PGI-Fortran.cmake into language
independent helper modules
Compiler/PGI.cmake
Platform/Linux-PGI.cmake
and invoke the macros from
Compiler/PGI-<lang>.cmake
Platform/Linux-PGI-<lang>.cmake
This enables general support for the PGI compilers.
The commit "Split GNU compiler information files" intended to move GNU
flags from the platform-wide Platform/SunOS.cmake module into
Platform/SunOS-GNU-<lang>.cmake
using a helper module Platform/SunOS-GNU.cmake to consolidate flags.
However, it accidentally put Fortran flags in the C language module and
left out the Fortran module altogether. This fixes those mistakes.
Several platform-wide linker flag variables are defined in
Modules/Platform/<os>.cmake files for C and then copied by the
Modules/CMake<lang>Information.cmake file for each language.
We now use this approach for the variables
CMAKE_EXE_EXPORTS_${lang}_FLAG
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SONAME_${lang}_FLAG
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_${lang}_FLAGS
to avoid duplication for multiple languages in each platform file.
The commit "Split GNU compiler information files" broke the settings of
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_${lang}_FLAGS
CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_${lang}_FLAGS
and started using just "-shared" for them. This worked when tested on newer
Mac machines, but older ones really need "-dynamiclib" and "-bundle" (which are
the documented flags anyway).
This moves GNU compiler info on Windows into new-style modules
Platform/Windows-GNU-<lang>.cmake
using language-independent helper module
Platform/Windows-GNU.cmake
to define macros consolidating the information.
This moves GNU compiler flags into new-style modules
Compiler/GNU-<lang>.cmake
Platform/<os>-GNU-<lang>.cmake
We use language-independent helper modules
Compiler/GNU.cmake
Platform/<os>-GNU.cmake
to define macros consolidating the information.
This is a GNU-specific option that should not be specified for all
compilers on Linux. It tells the GNU compiler to pass -export-dynamic
to the linker to export symbols from executables for use by plugins.
Since we provide the ENABLE_EXPORTS target property to do the same thing
in a cross-platform way, there is no need to pass -rdynamic always.
Since the option is not useful for GNU tools and breaks other tools on
Linux we simply remove it from CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_<lang>_FLAGS.
This also allows us to stop setting the variable in other Linux compiler
files just to erase the bad flag.
See issue #9985.
The Watcom tools do their own command-line parsing and do not accept
double-quotes. Instead we single-quote the target output name when
invoking wlink and other Watcom tools. This fixes support for spaces in
the target output directory path when it is not under the build tree.
We replace "/MD" with ifort-specific flags as follows:
/MD -> /threads /libs:dll
/MDd -> /threads /libs:dll /dbglibs
We also enable the "/MD" equivalent for all Fortran configurations.
Previously multithreaded dll runtimes were used for release builds and
threaded static runtimes for debug builds. For mixed Fortran C/C++
projects, this led to link warnings for Debug but not for Release.
See issue #8744.
We add Intel and MinGW Fortran linker options to create the import
library portion of a DLL. This allows other binaries to link to a
Fortran DLL.
We also update the Fortran test to use a .def file to specify exports
since there is no __declspec(dllexport) markup syntax in Fortran.
This commit re-writes Borland compiler build rules. We split the rules
into modern <os>-<id>-<lang> information modules but share a common
macro between languages to avoid duplication.
We also address a bug in the previous rules that would build some target
types against the static Borland runtime and others against the shared
Borland runtime in one build tree. Now we always use the shared runtime
as is the default in the rules for MS tools.
Block multiple inclusion because "Modules/CMakeCInformation.cmake"
includes "Platform/${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}" even though the generic
module "CMakeSystemSpecificInformation.cmake" already included it.
The extra inclusion is a work-around to address issue #4772 without
intrusive platform file changes. Once those changes are made the
work-around and these include blockers can be removed. See issue #9656.
This commit re-orders the search path prefix list from
/
/usr
/usr/local
to
/usr/local
/
/usr
so that locally-installed software is preferred.
This makes the search consistent with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
See issue #9657.
GNU/kFreeBSD = FreeBSD kernel + userspace with glibc. Linux.cmake
doesn't contain anything too OS specific, so we can forward to it.
Here are outputs of /bin/uname on author's machine:
uname -p ==> i386
uname -o ==> GNU/kFreeBSD
uname -s ==> GNU/kFreeBSD
uname -r ==> 5.4-1-686
Patch from Modestas Vainius. See issue #9659.
This commit creates target and directory properties to enable the Intel
interprocedural optimization support on Linux. Enabling it adds the
compiler option '-ipo' and uses 'xiar' to create archives.
See issue #9615.
This moves platform-independent XL compiler flags into separate
"Compiler/XL-<lang>.cmake" modules. Platform-specific flags go in
"Platform/<os>-XL-<lang>.cmake" modules.
Since Haiku does not have /usr (and therefore /usr/local), this commit
changes the default install prefix to the equivalent directory of
/boot/common.
See issue #9607.
Previously we checked for this flag by parsing the version number of GCC
out of 'gcc --version', but this is not reliable because the format can
vary greatly. Now we run 'gcc -v --help' and look for '-isysroot' in
the list of options.
We also now store the result on a per-language basis in the per-compiler
info file "CMake<LANG>Compiler.cmake". This is necessary to make it
accessible from try-compile projects so that they generate correctly.
In Platform/Linux.cmake we add GNU flags as default for the platform
which breaks non-GNU compilers. Later we should refactor these flag
files to put compiler-specific flags only in files loaded for each
compiler. Until then this commit fixes the XL C++ compiler flags on
Linux by erasing the GNU flags. See issue #9469.
The commit "Split Intel compiler information files" moved some Linux
specific flags into the platform-independent Intel compiler info files.
This moves them back.
This moves platform-independent SunPro compiler flags into separate
"Compiler/SunPro-<lang>.cmake" modules. Platform-specific flags are
left untouched.
The Borland librarian tool "tlib" requires that the output target name
be quoted if it contains the character '-' (and perhaps a few others).
This commit restores the use of the TARGET_QUOTED rule variable
replacement for this purpose. Otherwise no static library can have a
'-' in its name.
This problem was exposed by the 'Testing' test when it builds the
pcStatic library with the '-dbg' suffix.
IBM rebranded its VisualAge compiler to XL starting at version 8.0. We
use the compiler id "XL" for newer versions and "VisualAge" for older
versions. We now also recognize the "z/OS" compiler, which is distinct
from XL.
The CMAKE_Fortran_DEFINE_FLAG value applies to the IBM Fortran compilers
on all platforms. This moves the setting to the platform-independent
compiler information file.
This removes the file-wise installation rules for Modules and Templates
and instead installs the whole directories. This approach is much less
error-prone. The old approach was left from before CMake had the
install(DIRECTORY) command.
This teaches Modules/Platform/Linux-SunPro-CXX.cmake the -rpath-link flag. The
SunPro C++ compiler does not have a '-Wl,' option, so we just pass the flag
directly.
This problem was exposed by the ExportImport test now that it links an
executable through the C++ compiler with the -rpath-link flag.
On HP-UX machines some system libraries appear in architecture-specific
implicit linker search paths. We need to add these paths to our system
library search path. However, at the time we construct the search path
we do not know the target architecture.
A full solution requires re-organizing platform configuration files so
that the target architecture can be known when needed. Until that
happens we can avoid the problem by searching in both 32-bit and 64-bit
implicit link directories. By telling CMake that they are implicit
directories the generated link lines will never pass the paths, leaving
the linker free to find the library of the proper architecture even if
the find_library call finds the wrong one.
This adds the Modules/Platform/OpenVMS.cmake platform file for OpenVMS.
We just use Unix-like rules to work with the GNV compiler front-end.
A problem with process execution currently prevents CMake link scripts
from working, so we avoid using them.
HP-UX uses both .sl and .so as extensions for shared libraries. This
teaches CMake to recognize .so shared libraries so they are treated
properly during link dependency analysis.
This enables the --enable-auto-import linker flag on Cygwin when linking
executables. It works with the old gcc 3.x compiler and is necessary
for the new gcc 4.x compiler. See issue #9071.
This creates variable CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to
specify implicit include directories on a per-language basis. This
replaces the previous platform-wide variable. It is necessary to
avoid explicit specification of -I/usr/include on some compilers
(such as HP aCC) because:
1.) It may break ordering among system include directories defined
internally by the compiler, thus getting wrong system headers.
2.) It tells the compiler to treat the system include directory
as a user include directory, enabling warnings in the headers.
See issue #8598.
We used to suppress generation of -I/usr/include (and on OSX also
-I/usr/local/include). This behavior seems to cause more trouble than
it's worth, so I'm removing it until someone encounters the original
problem it fixed. See issue #8598.
Some OS X linkers want a 'dylib_' prefix on the -compatiblity_version
and -current_version flags while others do not. This passes the flags
through gcc instead since it never wants the prefix and translates the
flags for the linker correctly.
On 64-bit Windows there may be two Program Files folders, one for 32-bit
binaries and one for 64-bit binaries. When we compute
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH we should put both folders in the path.
OpenBSD shared libraries use a ".so.<major>.<minor>" extension and do
not have a symlink with just a ".so" extension. Its "ld" is capable of
finding the library with the best version. This change adds support for
finding such libraries. See issue #3470.
