In commit v3.0.0-rc1~103^2~3 (ExternalProject: Reattempt download when
verification fails, 2014-01-15) a reference to ${CMAKE_COMMAND} was
added to generate a reference to the CMake command in a cmake script.
Escape the '$' so that the literal variable reference appears in the
script instead of writing the path to the current cmake. This is
necessary when the path to CMake contains spaces or other characters
special to CMake syntax.
When downloading an URL with ExternalProject, reattempt the download three
times if the file hash verification fails.
The re-attempt is limited to non-local URL's. The same download CMake script
is re-used after removing any file that resulted from the previous download
attempt. Up to three re-attempts are performed.
Manually revise the .rst format of the documentation. Use inline
literal quotes appropriately in paragraph text. Move the :: literal
block openers to the end of the preceding paragraphs. Convert the
command signature documentation and examples to cmake code-block
directives.
The VS IDE sets the environment variable VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT when
executing build rules in order to tell MS tools to report output through
a back door instead of through stdout/stderr. Unset this variable so
that CMake can capture or properly redirect all output from processes it
runs even when running inside a VS IDE build environment.
This generalizes the special cases fixed by commit 80d045b0 (When
GetPrerequisites.cmake runs dumpbin while running inside the VS IDE...,
2008-05-01) and commit 44aff73d (ExternalProject: Avoid bleed-through
output when logging, 2011-01-06), so drop special handling of
VS_UNICODE_OUTPUT in those instances.
We support multiple commands per external project step by using
the COMMAND keyword. Document this behavior and show an example.
While at it, document that shell operators and current working
directory behavior is not defined.
With
SVN_USERNAME ""
SVN_PASSWORD ""
in an ExternalProject_Add() call, the blank username and password
will be passed to the svn checkout/update step commands.
When the CMAKE_GENERATOR option is given to ExternalProject_Add, look
also for option CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET to select the value of the cmake
"-T" command-line flag. When no CMAKE_GENERATOR option is given
explicitly then use the current project's CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET (since
we already use its CMAKE_GENERATOR).
The ExternalProject_Add DEPENDS option adds two types of dependencies.
It adds a target-level build order dependency between the external
project target and the named targets. It also adds a file-level
dependency on the "done" stamp file of the named external project
targets. Targets not created by ExternalProject_Add have no such stamp
file and no _EP_STAMP_DIR property. Prior to commit d14c0243 (Refactor
repeated code into function, 2012-04-26) we unconditionally accepted an
empty stamp dir and generated a dependency on a non-existent file.
After that commit we generate an error that no stamp dir is set.
Skip the file-level dependency when the named dependency is not an
external project target in order to allow this use case. Teach the
ExternalProject test to cover the case.
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.
