Stephen Kelly 370bf55415 Add the ALIAS target concept for libraries and executables.
* The ALIAS name must match a validity regex.
* Executables and libraries may be aliased.
* An ALIAS acts immutable. It can not be used as the lhs
  of target_link_libraries or other commands.
* An ALIAS can be used with add_custom_command, add_custom_target,
  and add_test in the same way regular targets can.
* The target of an ALIAS can be retrieved with the ALIASED_TARGET
  target property.
* An ALIAS does not appear in the generated buildsystem. It
  is kept separate from cmMakefile::Targets for that reason.
* A target may have multiple aliases.
* An ALIAS target may not itself have an alias.
* An IMPORTED target may not have an alias.
* An ALIAS may not be exported or imported.

Brad King 96afb12087 Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD License
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.

Brad King 5594ad4885 ENH: Updated exporting and importing of targets to support libraries and configurations.
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
  - Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
  - Include soname of shared libraries in import information
  - Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
  - Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
  - Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
  - Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
  - Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
  - Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
  - Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
  - Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
  - Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
  - Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends

Ken Martin 0e69d38004 ENH: add return and break support to cmake, also change basic command invocation signature to be able to return extra informaiton via the cmExecutionStatus class 2008-01-23 10:28:26 -05:00
Alexander Neundorf 66580ab341 ENH: if get_target_property() doesn't find a target with the given name, it
returns now "<NAME_OF_VAR>-NOTFOUND" instead of just "NOTFOUND", which can help
in finding problems

Alexander Neundorf 4878c00905 ENH: add the IMPORT keyword to ADD_EXECUTABLE(), which generates an
"imported" executable target. This can then be used e.g. with
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND() to generate stuff. It adds a second container for
"imported" targets, and FindTarget() now takes an additional argument bool
useImportedTargets to specify whether you also want to search in the
imported targets or only in the "normal" targets.

Brad King 1b71f4477b ENH: Added cmTarget::GetBaseName and cmTarget::GetFullName methods and removed cmLocalGenerator::GetFullTargetName and cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator2::GetBaseTargetName. This functionality is more sensibly implemented in cmTarget. It is also needed for an upcoming feature in which both the shared and static versions of a library will be removed before one is linked. 2005-04-22 15:23:21 -04:00
