Problem with CMake 2.8.4-rc1: when you launch the NSIS exe installer
on Windows, the default install path shown to the end user is, at first,
"\CMake 2.8".
This problem started occurring when configuring CMake itself with an
older CMake, after adding CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT to fix issue 9148.
So... it's a regression from 2.8.3.
I forgot (again) that when you add a new CPack variable, you must
add it to CMake's CMakeCPack.cmake file or else it is empty when
configured with an older CMake. And on Windows, without a bootstrap
build available, the releases are always configured with an older
version of CMake. This may be the last time this has bitten me,
though, because it is now burned into my brain that problems with
CMake's installer itself are inevitably associated with adding new
CPack variables.
In addition to adding a definition for CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT,
I've gone ahead and made it differ for the 32- and 64-bit builds
of CMake to give the end user the expected default value for the
Program Files folder for each one.
And, since I was adding a new 32/64 differentiator anyhow, I made
the "NSIS package name" and "installer registry key base" different
for 64-bit builds, too, by appending " (Win64)" to each one.
These address the concerns mentioned in 9148's related issue:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9094 (at least as far
as CMake's installer is concerned). 9094 could still use a good
general fix for all projects, though, and remains open for now.
The parent commit added a warning message whenever a required file
does not exist.
As it turns out, the "required" files never exist when built with
Visual Studio Express editions. Add a variable to suppress these
warning messages because only packagers or naive includers of
this file will care to see such warning messages.
We want to warn about this condition by default so that people who
are using InstallRequiredSystemLibraries without understanding it
fully will have a chance of understanding why it's not working in
the event of missing required files.
But we also want to give projects the ability to suppress this warning
(by "project's choice default") so that they can encourage users who
are restricted to using an Express edition to build their project.
Packagers should explicitly use...
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS=OFF
...when building releases. That way, their release build process will warn
them about any missing files, but only if their project CMakeLists files
use a construct similar to CMake's:
IF(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS)
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_LIBS_NO_WARNINGS ON)
ENDIF()
Override CMAKE_DOC_DIR and CMAKE_DATA_DIR cache entries on Cygwin early
enough so the new values are used everywhere. Previously only some of
the uses were overridden. Also set CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION to the whole
CMake_VERSION so that the Cygwin MANIFEST file goes in the proper path.
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.
This moves the version numbers into an isolated configured header so
that not all of CMake needs to rebuild when the version changes.
Previously we had spaces, dashes and/or the word 'patch' randomly chosen
before the patch number. Now we always report version numbers in the
traditional format "<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-rc<rc>]".
We still use odd minor numbers for development versions. Now we also
use the CCYYMMDD date as the patch number of development versions, thus
allowing tests for exact CMake versions.
-remove the unscriptable commands also from the cpack cmake
-use CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT in CMakeCPack.cmake, it's used in the nsis and
the deb generator
-make set_properties() scriptable
-use a non-const char array for adding the python modules
