We now search in
<prefix>/<name>*/
<prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)
when looking for package configuration files. This is useful on Windows
since the Program Files folder is in CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH. These
paths are the Windows equivalent to the Apple convention application and
framework paths we already search. See issue #8264.
The $ENV{VAR} syntax permits access to environment variables. This
teaches CMake to recognize most characters in the VAR name since some
environments may have variables with non-C-identifier characters.
For bug #7191.
Improvements to the dialog that sets up the first configure.
Fixing the large size of it by breaking it up into a wizard.
Also incorporated suggestions from bug report.
When the find_package command loads a <name>-version.cmake file to test
the package version it must prevent the version file from affecting
policy settings. Therefore the policy settings must be pushed and
popped.
Generated cmake_install.cmake script code used MATCHES to compare
component names. This does not support characters considered special by
regular expression syntax in component names. This change uses STREQUAL
instead. See issue #8256.
When an object file directory is too deep to place an object file
without exceeding CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX, this issues a warning.
Previously we silently ignored the problem. See issue #7860.
When computing the maximum length full path to the build directory under
which object files will be placed, pass the actual path instead of just
its length. This will be useful for error message generation.
The CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX variable and <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property were
not documented. This updates the CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX and DEBUG_POSTFIX
documentation to refer to the more general variable/property. It also
clarifies that the variable is used as the property default only for
non-executable targets. See issue #7868.
This teaches find_package to search
<prefix>/(share|lib)/cmake/<name>*/
for package configuration files. Packages that do not already have
files in a <prefix>/lib/<name>* directory can use this location to avoid
cluttering the lib directory.
When the find_package command loads a module it sets several
<pkg>_FIND_XXX variables to communicate information about the command
invocation to the module. This restores the original state of the
variables when the command returns. This behavior is useful when a
find-module recursively calls find_package with NO_MODULE so that the
inner call does not change the values in the find-module.
When we install a target on Mac, we generate a call to install_name_tool to fix
install_name entries in the target for shared libraries it links. This change
makes the step ignore entries for imported targets since their install_name
will not change and cmTarget cannot produce a mapping for them. This fixes the
error
GetLibraryNamesInternal called on imported target: kdelibs
seen by kde folks.
executing a ctest script so the search paths are fully set up and variables
like CMAKE_SYSTEM are available. This is useful e.g. for new-style ctest
scripting.
(these files are also loaded on startup by cpack, so now they behave
similar).
Hmmm, maybe they should be also loaded by cmake -P ?

The output of "cvs update" contains a line such as one of
cvs update: `foo.txt' is no longer in the repository
cvs update: foo.txt is no longer in the repository
cvs update: warning: foo.txt is not (any longer) pertinent
when file "foo.txt" has been removed in the version to which the update
occurs. Previously only the first case would be recognized. This fixes
the regular expression to match all these cases.
KWSys component dependencies must be enforced before any tests for
enabled components are done. This moves the dependency enforcement code
to be as early as possible.
We use response files to list object files for the MSVC linker. The
linker complains if any response file is greater than 128K, so we split
the object file lists into multiple response files.
Previously generation of object file lists for linker and cleaning
command lines was duplicated for library and executable target
generators. This combines the implementations.
This clarifies documentation of the find_* commands' PATH_SUFFIXES
option. The option adds paths with the suffixes but does not remove the
paths without the suffixes.
In cmFindBase we were searching all path suffixes appended to all paths
before considering the paths without any suffixes. Instead we should
consider each path with and without suffixes before moving to the next
path. See issue #7783.
This adds a missing default constructor to cmListFileContext that makes
sure the line number is initialized to zero. A zero line number will
indicate a generated context.
Applying patch provided in issue #7797.
Fixes to man-pages:
- Character '-' must be espaced as '\-'
- Surround preformatted text with '.nf' and '.fi' to adjust filling
- Give every page a NAME section for indexing by mandb
- Pass the man page filename without extension to .TH in its header
Also added a title to the HTML header.
These changes refactor cmLocalGenerator methods Convert and
ConvertToOutputForExisting to support references inside the build tree
using relative paths. After this commit, all tests pass with Makefile
generators when relative paths are enabled by default. See issue #7779.
The cmMakefile::DefineFlagsOrig ivar was created to help preserve the
old DEFINITIONS property behavior now that definitions are moved from
DefineFlags to the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS directory property. This fixes
propagation of the original value into subdirectories.
This adds a SOURCES option to ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET, enabling users to
specify extra sources for inclusion in the target. Such sources may not
build, but will show up in the IDE project files for convenient editing.
See issue #5848.
After creating a utility target with AddUtilityCommand, return a pointer
to the cmTarget instance so the caller may further modify the target as
needed.
Recently we taught find_package that the NO_MODULE option is implied
when it is recursively invoked in a find-module. This behavior may be
confusing because two identical calls may enter different modes
depending on context. It also disallows the possibility that one
find-module defers to another find-module by changing CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
and recursively invoking find_package. This change reverts the feature.
We generate convenience rules to build object files, preprocessed
outputs, and assembly outputs of source files individually with make
rules. This removes a redundant working directory change when more than
one target builds the same source file.
