Previously CMake silently accepted the empty string and added a bogus
dependency on the current directory. Instead warn about the empty file
name and ignore it. We cannot make this an error because there may be
existing projects that accidentally depend on the old behavior.
Add a RunCMake.include test to cover this case.
This converts the CMake 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 CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
Isolation of policy changes inside scripts is important for protecting
the including context. This teaches include() and find_package() to
imply a cmake_policy(PUSH) and cmake_policy(POP) around the scripts they
load, with a NO_POLICY_SCOPE option to disable the behavior. This also
creates CMake Policy CMP0011 to provide compatibility. See issue #8192.
-add a RESULT_VARIABLE to INCLUDE()
-add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE for specifiying your (potentially crosscompiling) toolchain
-have TRY_RUN() complain if you try to use it in crosscompiling mode (which were compiled but cannot run on this system)
-use CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in TRY_RUN(), probably TRY_RUN won't be able to
run the executables if they have a different suffix because they are
probably crosscompiled, but nevertheless it should be able to find them
-make several cmake variables presettable by the user: CMAKE_C/CXX_COMPILER, CMAKE_C/CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION, CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, CMAKE_SYSTEM_INFO_FILE
-support prefix for GNU toolchains (arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-ar, arm-elf-strip etc.)
-move ranlib on OSX from the file command to a command in executed in cmake_install.cmake
-add support for stripping during install in cmake_install.cmake
-split out cl.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake, first (very incomplete) step to support MS crosscompiling tools
-remove stdio.h from the simple C program which checks if the compiler works, since this may not exist for some embedded platforms
-create a new CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake which collects the search fro ar, ranlib, strip, ld, link, install_name_tool and other tools like these
-add support for CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH for all FIND_XXX commands, which is a
list of directories which will be prepended to all search directories, right
now as a cmake variable, turning it into a global cmake property may need
some more work
-remove cmTestTestHandler::TryExecutable(), it's unused
-split cmFileCommand::HandleInstall() into slightly smaller functions
