CMAKE_xxx vars are now used in the CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
script while CPACK_xxx equivalent vars are used from within CPack.
CPack is responsible for getting/forwarding definitions of
CPACK_xxxx var corresponding to CMAKE_xxxx when invoking
CMake-generated install scripts.
As a consequence:
CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
may be used from outside CPack as well.
e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=1 -P cmake_install.cmake
works as expected.
The [usually] wrong usage of absolute DESTINATION in INSTALL rules
keeps popping-up on the ML. We shall have some way to:
1) easily detect it.
2) forbids this for some CPack generator like NSIS
In fact it should certainly be forbidden for *any* generators
when used on Windows but we may implements that on top of the current
patch.
The patch ask the task to the generated cmake_install.cmake scripts.
Those scripts are a little bit more complicated with that but
iff there are absolute DESTINATION. This cost nothing if relative
DESTINATION are used.
Two new vars are introduced (and documented to handle that):
CPACK_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
and
CPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
The purpose of the TargetType enumeration was overloaded for install
type because install rules were once recorded as targets. Factor the
install types out into their own enumeration.
The idea of the patch is to let the install generator define
CPACK_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_FILES then when CMake is installing
project he will concatenate the list of files and give
it to specific CPack Generator by defining CPACK_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_FILES
to be the list of ALL files that were installed using absolute destination.
An example of use has been applied to RPM generator which now
tries to automatically build a relocatable package.
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.
A new cmScriptGenerator base class factors out the non-install-specific
part of cmInstallGenerator. This will be useful for other generators
that want per-configuration functionality.
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.
- 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
