Our upstream-built release tarballs already contain many unversioned
paths and so will never overlap with another version of CMake in the
same installation prefix. Therefore we do not need a versioned name for
the documentation directory. Configure our release binaries to place
the documentation in an unversioned directory so that one can use the
same path to refer to the documentation locally even after updating
CMake. For example, on OS X one may see the documentation in
`/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/doc/cmake/html/index.html`.
Disable the CMake_INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES option by default and turn it on
explicitly in our packaging scripts. This simplifies packaging in
distributions that provide the dependencies for us without having to
install them. We only need 3rd-party runtime dependencies to be
installed for packaging with redistributable binaries.
For the nightly binaries, turn of CMAKE_USE_OPENSSL on Windows and OS X
10.6+ platforms. This will activate the new curl behavior to use the
OS-native SSL/TLS implementation.
In commit v3.1.0-rc1~52^2 (Make the OSX 10.6+ release x86_64 only,
2014-09-29) we forgot to remove the name "universal" from the binary
name. Since the binary is no longer universal, use "x86_64" instead.
While at it, update the deployment target to actually be 10.6.
Use the CPack DragNDrop generator instead of the deprecated PackageMaker
tool to package CMake itself. This provides an installation experience
that is more consistent with other products on OS X and allows users to
select the destination directory easily. It also avoids installing
"/private/var/db/receipts/com.Kitware.CMake.*" receipts that must be
removed by "pkgutil --forget com.Kitware.CMake" before another version
of CMake can be installed.
The DragNDrop installer does not support a post-flight script, so drop
our configuration of it. The cmake-gui has an option for installing
symbolic links to enable command-line use. In practice users may simply
add "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin" to their PATH instead.
Download http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt and place
it as Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt in our source tree. When building cmake-gui,
use option CMake_GUI_DISTRIBUTE_WITH_Qt_LGPL to enable notification
in the "About" dialog of how the distribution of Qt is licensed.
Install the license file as ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt so that
the dialog can display a path to it.
