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.
This modifies the behavior of PYTHON_WRITE_MODULES_HEADER, should be backwards
compatible. Also marked a couple of the variables generated by adding Python
modules as advanced.
PathScale Fortran mangles module symbols as "MY_SUB.in.MY_MODULE" and
also requires "my_module_" when the module is imported. We cannot
provide the symbol with ".in." mangling so we should not provide
"my_module_" because it would duplicate the one in the Fortran-provided
object file.
Commit "FortranCInterface: Fix PathScale detection" (2010-01-22) already
made the same fix for the non-underscore module case.
In the CTest module we previously warned if the source directory did not
contain known version control directories. The message was:
"CTest cannot determine repository type. Please set UPDATE_TYPE
to 'cvs' or 'svn'. CTest update will not work."
This was confusing when building sources from a tarball. Furthermore,
we now support many more version control tools. This feature is now
mature enough that the warning causes confusion more than it provides
real help. We simply remove it.
The compiler documents symbols _DF_VERSION_ and _VF_VERSION_ but they do
not seem to be available to the preprocessor. Instead we add a vendor
query table entry for Compaq. Running "f90 -what" produces
Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version ...
This clearly identifies the compiler.
At least one Fortran compiler does not provide a preprocessor symbol to
identify itself. Instead we try running unknown compilers with version
query flags known for each vendor and look for known output. Future
commits will add vendor-specific flags/output table entries.
PathScale Fortran mangles module symbols as "MYSUB.in.MYMODULE" and also
requires "mymodule_" when the module is imported. We cannot provide the
symbol with ".in." mangling so we should not provide "mymodule_" because
it would duplicate the one in the Fortran-provided object file.
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.
After discussing with Brad and Clinton:
-the namespace for the imported targets is now "Qt4::", tested with Makefiles, Visual Studio and XCode projects
-the imported targets are always created
-if QT_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS is set to TRUE (it defaults to FALSE), the QT_QTFOO_LIBRARY variables are set to point to these imported
targets, otherwise the old behaviour is used.
-on OSX if Qt has been found as framework, disable QT_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS, since cmake doesn't handle the framework directory as location of the library correctly
Alex
-set the type of the IMPORTED libraries to UNKNOWN, this way also on Windows
only the "LOCATION" property has to be set
-the if() around the SET(QT_${basename}_FOUND 1) was useless (always true)
-the mapping of the configuration types DEBUG and PROFILE did not belong here
Alex
This commit syncs FindQt4.cmake again with KDEs version.
Now for every Qt library an imported target with the name
Qt4ImportedTarget__<LIBNAME> is created.
This way we can now finally handle the release and debug versions of the Qt
libraries correctly.
Also, if a Qt-using project A installs a file with exported targets, these
targets now depend on the imported Qt targets, e.g.
Qt4ImportedTarget__QtCore. The location of QtCore is then resolved at
buildtime of project B, which uses the exported targets from project A.
Before this patch the full path to the QtCore on the original build machine
of project A was stored, so this had to match the directory layout on the
build machine for project B.

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.
We add compiler information files
Compiler/PathScale-<lang>.cmake
to specify PathScale compiler information for C, C++, and Fortran
languages. We use a macro in Compiler/PathScale.cmake to consolidate
the information common to all languages.
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.
Implement Fortran 32/64-bit ABI detection on some platforms. We need to
set CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P correctly in Fortran-only projects so that the
find_library() command knows whether to look for 64-bit binaries. We
also detect ELF binaries to enable RPATH replacement. See issue #10119.
Now the case that both the release- and the debug-version of a library is
handled first, because otherwise we always ran into this branch, since the
debug-only and the release-only branch also set both variables.
