8ea2db26 cmake-gui: Replace command-line install dialog with information box
438ce4a0 cmake-gui: Add --install option to add command-line tools on OS X
41477d5c cmake-gui: Drop undocumented and unused --mac-install option
The QMacInstallDialog infrastructure no longer works on modern OS X
versions. Drop it and replace the dialog with a simple info box that
explains to the user how to run 'cmake-gui --install' to add symlinks.
Also suggest simply modifying the PATH.
This approach is similar to the Xcode 'xcode-select --install' method
of installing Xcode Command Line Tools.
On OS X add an "--install[=/path/to/bin]" option (defaulting to
/usr/bin) that installs symbolic links into the given directory.
This will help OS X users make the tools available on the command
line even when they sit inside a CMake.app bundle.
This option was once used by our OS X package installer to create
symlinks at install time. Since switching to the DragNDrop installer
we no longer use this option.
There is no need to duplicate these in all cmLocalGenerators.
Rename the symbols according to current conventions.
Add explicit calls to Set{Source,Binary}Directory with empty strings
in order to trigger the population of the components containers with
the current working directory in cmLocalGenerator. Having
directories set to empty is a special case in CMake, which is relied
on for the `if(CMAKE_BINARY_DIR)` condition at the end of
CMakeDetermineSystem.cmake.
ee8cef87 Encoding: If configured, write Visual Studio project files as UTF-8.
91fd99b8 Encoding: Provide option to configure CMake to use UTF-8 encoding.
Because we already call [to|from]Local8Bit() with C strings where we are supposed to,
we do not need to specify UTF-8 encoding when converting C strings to QString.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools. Drop options that are no longer supported:
--copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
--help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules
De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.
We will no longer support full documentation generation from executables
and will instead generate documentation with other tools. Disable (with
a warning left behind) the command-line options:
--copyright
--help-compatcommands
--help-full
--help-html
--help-man
Drop supporting code. Drop manual sections generation from executables.
Remove internal documentation construction APIs. Drop unused sections
See Also, Author, Copyright, Compat Commands, Custom Modules.
This modifications set tries to keep the unified doc for cmake/ctest/cpack
while introducing tool specific documentation separated.
Some documentation sections for CMake do not fit well to CPack.
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.
A bit of cleanup.
Disable tab navigation in cache variable list.
Enable home/end keys.
BUG: Ensure currently edited values are saved before doing configure.
Also disable generate until configure is done.
Save more settings (last 10 binary directories, exit after generate,
last generator)
Some UI tweaks for better layout.
Support drag & drop of CMakeLists.txt/CMakeCache.txt files.
Implement help button.
Implement cancel button.
Add scrollable output window.
Replace ON/OFF & combobox editors with checkboxes.
Tab/backtab in cache table jumps between values (not names and values)
Add tooltips to show help strings.
Add application icon and qtmain for Windows.
BUG: Fix save of cache values on configure.
