Brad King 1d22ee67aa Help: target_include_directories does not allow target names
Since commit v2.8.11~227^2~1 (Don't allow targets args in the new target
commands, 2013-01-29) the target_include_directories command does not
support target names on the right hand side, but that commit forgot to
remove it from the docs.  It was never released with such support.
Update the command documentation now.

Brad King e15a7075b5 Add an option for explicit BYPRODUCTS of custom commands (#14963)
A common idiom in CMake-based build systems is to have custom commands
that generate files not listed explicitly as outputs so that these
files do not have to be newer than the inputs.  The file modification
times of such "byproducts" are updated only when their content changes.
Then other build rules can depend on the byproducts explicitly so that
their dependents rebuild when the content of the original byproducts
really does change.

This "undeclared byproduct" approach is necessary for Makefile, VS, and
Xcode build tools because if a byproduct were listed as an output of a
rule then the rule would always rerun when the input is newer than the
byproduct but the byproduct may never be updated.

Ninja solves this problem by offering a 'restat' feature to check
whether an output was really modified after running a rule and tracking
the fact that it is up to date separately from its timestamp.  However,
Ninja also stats all dependencies up front and will only restat files
that are listed as outputs of rules with the 'restat' option enabled.
Therefore an undeclared byproduct that does not exist at the start of
the build will be considered missing and the build will fail even if
other dependencies would cause the byproduct to be available before its
dependents build.

CMake works around this limitation by adding 'phony' build rules for
custom command dependencies in the build tree that do not have any
explicit specification of what produces them.  This is not optimal
because it prevents Ninja from reporting an error when an input to a
rule really is missing.  A better approach is to allow projects to
explicitly specify the byproducts of their custom commands so that no
phony rules are needed for them.  In order to work with the non-Ninja
generators, the byproducts must be known separately from the outputs.

Add a new "BYPRODUCTS" option to the add_custom_command and
add_custom_target commands to specify byproducts explicitly.  Teach the
Ninja generator to specify byproducts as outputs of the custom commands.
In the case of POST_BUILD, PRE_LINK, and PRE_BUILD events on targets
that link, the byproducts must be specified as outputs of the link rule
that runs the commands.  Activate 'restat' for such rules so that Ninja
knows it needs to check the byproducts, but not for link rules that have
no byproducts.

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

Stephen Kelly 7521da2852 Introduce CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable.
This variable can be useful in cross-compiling contexts where the
sysroot is read-only or where the sysroot should otherwise remain
pristine.

If the new CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX variable is set, it is used instead
of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when generating the installation rules in
cmake_install.cmake.

This way, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable
always refers to the installation prefix on the target device, regardless
of whether host==target.

If any -rpath paths passed to the linker contain the CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX,
the matching path fragments are replaced with the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Matching paths in the -rpath-link are not transformed.

The cross-prefix usr-move workaround is assumed not to require extension
regarding CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX. The staging area is a single prefix, so
there is no scope for cross-prefix symlinks. The CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
is still used to determine the workaround path, and that variable
remains the relevant one even if CMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX is used. If the
generated export files are deployed to the target, the workaround
will still be in place, and still be employed if required.

Stephen Kelly 7cd65c97fa Add CMAKE_SYSROOT variable to set --sysroot when cross compiling.
As CMAKE_ROOT_FIND_PATH can be a list, a new CMAKE_SYSROOT is
introduced, which is never a list.

The contents of this variable is passed to supporting compilers
as --sysroot. It is also accounted for when processing implicit
link directories reported by the compiler, and when generating
RPATH information.

Brad King bca67c710f build_command: Return a "cmake --build" command-line
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly.  This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.

This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping.  It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk.  For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.
