Previously this was used only in multi-configuration generators to
choose the configuration of try_compile and try_run at their build time.
Teach CMake to honor the variable in single-configuration generators as
the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
Factor out generation of SccProjectName, SccLocalPath, and SccProvider
from cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStart and call it from
cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStartFortran too.
The module header was being placed in the source tree before. Thanks to
Marcel Loose for the patch, this ensures the file is written to the
build tree.
On Windows platforms source files may contain '\' in include directives:
#include "a\b.h"
Normalize these while scanning to use forward slashes. CMake will
convert from forward slashes to the direction preferred by the native
build tools when writing the path to 'depend.make' files.
Show "<variable|string>" explicitly in if() case documentation whenever
auto-dereferencing occurs. Reference its presence from the explanation
at the bottom.
The signature of get_test_property uses argument order
test property VAR
not
test VAR property
Also document the actual behavior when the property is not found.
Some values simply cannot be escaped properly in all contexts for all
native build tools. Document known limitations after the disclaimer
that states so.
Previously the error message for code like
add_executable(myexe does_not_exist/mysrc.c)
mentioned only that "mysrc.c" is not found. Report the directory too.
Remove the example explained by the misleading phrase "CMake will treat
it as if you wrote". This was originally added by commit a73071ca
(modified the if command to address bug 9123 some, 2009-06-12). Later
related information elsewhere in the documentation was corrected and
made precise by commit cb185d93 (Fix if() command and CMP0012 OLD/NEW
behavior, 2009-10-27) but the misleading example was not corrected.
Replace the example with a correct one that more directly covers the
case that typically surprises newcomers. Avoid recommending a "correct"
way to write code because this behavior is always specific to each case.
Also update the main documentation of the behavior to be more explicit.
This test was broken by commit b2f308c8 (Add support for windows
resources with mingw/msys, 2010-12-22) because the test does not set a
resource compiler which is now required on MinGW for the 'RC' language.
Use windres as the resource compiler for the test.
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.
