In the current default update step for Git under the ExternalProject_Add
command, a 'git fetch' is always performed, followed by a 'git checkout' and
'git submodule update --recursive'. However, a 'git fetch' can be time
consuming and requires a network connection.
To save time, we look at the current checked out hash, and only perform the
fetch if required. This is performed in a CMake script so we can handle
the conditional logic in a cross platform manner.
Make the EXPECTED_HASH option take only a single value instead of two to
avoid handling sub-keyword arguments. This is also consistent with
URL_HASH in ExternalProject.
Some download URLs do not have the filename embedded in the url.
Add an interface to specify the local filename explicitly.

TLS has superseded SSL so rename the recently added file(DOWNLOAD) and
ExternalProject options using the newer terminology. Drop "CURLOPT"
from names because curl is an implementation detail.
This commit adds the ability to turn on and off ssl certificate
authority checking. It also adds the ability to specify a
certificate authority information file. This can be done
by setting global cmake variables CMAKE_CURLOPT_CAINFO_FILE
and or CMAKE_CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER in the project calling
ExternalProject_Add, or by passing those options to individual
ExternalProject_Add calls.
Add options HG_REPOSITORY and HG_TAG to specify an external project
hosted in a Mercurial repository. Teach ExternalProject to clone the
repository and update from it. Extend the ExternalProject test to try a
Mercurial repository when hg is available.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
Fix the build command when Ninja is the CMake Generator, but the
external project is created for a project that does not use CMake but
does use "make".
By tracking a stamp file within the git clone script itself.
Avoids a 2nd git clone operation after switching from Debug
to Release builds in Visual Studio, or vice-versa.
Add "private/internal-use-only" function _ep_get_step_stampfile
to get the name of the stamp file for a given step.
The functionality provided by this commit should be identical
to its parent commit.
In the case of git, only track the repository in the
repository info dependency tracking file. Not the tag.
The download step should only re-run if the repository changes.
The download step should NOT re-run if the tag changes.
The update step is an 'always' re-running step, and so should
already re-run, unless it's been eliminated by use of
UPDATE_COMMAND ""
Commit f67139ae added running a verify script in between running
the download and extract scripts. Since then, it has always been
missing the COMMAND keyword added in this commit.
It worked anyway (semi-accidentally) by running a command line like:
cmake -P script1.cmake cmake -P script2.cmake
CMake, when running -P scripts on the command line, runs them in order,
and apparently ignores spurious arguments in between (the middle "cmake"
in the above example) and so, all appeared to work as intended.
This commit adds the missing keyword and the commands that run are
now two separate sequential cmake invocations like:
cmake -P script1.cmake
cmake -P script2.cmake
...which was the original intent of commit f67139ae
When GIT_EXECUTABLE points at ".../Git/cmd/git.cmd" in an msysGit
installation we previously failed to detect the version number in a
subtle case. The "git.cmd" assumes 'chcp' is in PATH. It is typically
available at "C:\Windows\System32\chcp.com". On 64-bit Windows the File
System Redirector maps this location to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\chcp.com"
for 32-bit processes. However, some Windows installations fail to
provide chcp.com at this path. Whenever git.cmd runs in a 32-bit
command shell, as it does under a 32-bit CMake binary, it reports
'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
on stderr. Capture stderr separately so it does not affect parsing
of the version number.
See also msysGit issue 358:
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=358
Note that FindGit prefers "git.cmd" over "git.exe" because it sets up
the proper HOME environment variable necessary for Git ssh connections
to work the same as they do from the Git bash prompt.
The previous commit added --non-interactive as a "side effect"
of turning on SVN_TRUST_CERT. While reviewing that commit, we
decided all ExternalProject svn usage should be non-interactive.
That way, if there's any sort of problem, svn will return an
error right away rather than hang forever waiting for input...
Which adds --non-interactive and --trust-server-cert to the svn
checkout and update command lines. This allows ExternalProject
clients to pull from an https:// based svn server even though
the server may not have a valid or trusted certificate.
Caveat emptor: I would NOT recommend using this except as a
short-term work-around. Rather, the server should have a valid,
trusted certificate, or the client should be using "http" instead
of "https".
Unset VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT when executing a command whose output
is being logged to a file. Previously, running Microsoft tools
in sub-processes of Visual Studio would send their output to
the Visual Studio output pipe named by this environment variable.
Unsetting it forces the output back to the normal stdout and stderr
channels where cmake can intercept it and direct it to the
appropriate log files.
Escaped the @var@ in the file writes - this was being expanded at file
write and so not causing a reconfigure at the right time. I also took
care of build up lists of lists in the variables, especially important
for things like MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY. Added some error checking, and use
the tmp_dir for initial cache file.
On Windows the limit for command line arguments is 8192 characters, and
this was limiting longer paths with some of our more nested projects
such as Library. Placing the -D arguments into CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS will
write out an initial cache file, that will be passed to CMake with a -C
argument as the initial cache.
By forcing the cache variables we preserve the existing behavior with
-D, to change the values of cache variables in our inner projects.
Fixed parallel build for projects using generators that have the
CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR as well as CMAKE_GENERATOR. Thanks to Bill Hoffman
for helping me to track this one down, I missed parallel builds.
This commit introduces the ability to add custom targets
that correspond to individual ExternalProject steps.
The main motivation behind this new feature is to drive
sub-project based dashboard steps as external projects
with separate targets for update, configure, build and
test output. This makes it easy to construct a ctest -S
script to drive such a dashboard.
With no STEP_TARGETS defined, there are no additional
custom targets introduced, to minimize the chatter in
the target name space. Clients may define STEP_TARGETS
on a per-ExternalProject_Add basis, or at the directory
level by setting the EP_STEP_TARGETS directory property.
The intent was to warn about misspelled keyword arguments,
but the effect was to warn about valid argument values far
too often. Let's stop annoying and confusing people.
ExternalProject_Add calls that did not explicitly request a
CMAKE_GENERATOR would not get recursive parallel make behavior.
This commit fixes that issue.
Fix niggly in ExternalProject that would inadvertently
create a log file of output when a command was explicitly
set to the empty string.
Also, increase the default value for showing context
around build errors to 10 lines, up from 6. Also add
the ability to customize this setting so that users
can put it back to 6 or even lower if they want, or
show more if they want.
Avoid issues with two external projects trying to extract two
separate trees at the same time into the same location. Should
fix the sporadically failing ExternalProject test on the dashboards
for parallel builds.
Optionally hide the output of each external project build step by
wrapping its command in a launcher script. Make output available in log
files instead. This simplifies the output of external project builds.
See http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10346.
The proposed patch for the issue could not be applied as is
because the SOURCE_DIR always exists for an ExternalProject_Add
call by the time we get to the place to emit the potential error.
The fix is to emit the error only if the source dir is empty.
By which, I mean devoid of files and subdirectories. If
SOURCE_DIR is used by itself, without any DOWNLOAD_COMMAND
or repository info, then it implies that the SOURCE_DIR is ready
to build as-is without need for a download step. Clearly, if it
is empty, then it is not ready to build as is. So complain if
the SOURCE_DIR is empty.
