In commit 'Create KWSYS_PLATFORM_INFO_TEST macro' (2009-11-20) we
implemented the macro to use a cache entry to avoid re-running the
try_compile(). However, the output copied from the try_compile is
needed on every configure. If the user wipes out the build tree but not
the cache file then the try_compile() will not re-run to recreate the
needed file. We address the problem by teaching the macro to run the
try_compile() whenever its output file does not exist.
We store custom command rule hashes in CMakeFiles/CMakeRuleHashes.txt
persistently across CMake runs. When the rule hash changes we delete
the custom command output file and write a new hash into the persistence
file.
This functionality was first added by the commit 'Introduce "rule
hashes" to help rebuild files when rules change.' (2008-06-02).
However, the implementation in cmGlobalGenerator::CheckRuleHashes kept
the file open for read when attempting to rewrite a new file. On
Windows filesystems this prevented the new version of the file from
being written! This caused the first set of rule hashes to be used
forever within a build tree, meaning that all custom commands whose
rules changed would be rebuilt every time CMake regenerated the build
tree.
In this commit we address the problem by splitting the read and write
operations into separate methods. This ensures that the input stream is
closed before the output stream opens the file.
We use 'git diff-index' to detect local modifications after pull. On
some filesystems the work tree timestamps of a few files may be dated
after the index, making them appear as locally modified. We address the
problem by using 'git update-index --refresh' to refresh the index and
avoid false local modifications.
Our internal path processing methods assume no trailing slashes, but bzr
adds trailing slashes to updated directories. This can lead to empty
entries in Update.xml files. We address the problem by stripping the
slashes as soon as they are parsed.
Cygwin versions .dll files by putting the version number in the file
name. Our fix to issue #3571 taught CMake to do this, but it used the
VERSION target property. It is better to use the SOVERSION property
since that is the interface (rather than implementation) version.
Change based on patch from issue #10122.
When building on Cygwin without -mwin32, the _WIN32 macro may not be
defined. SharedForward must still set the PATH environment variable to
ensure runtime dependencies are found.
The 'ldd' wrapping feature uses 'cygcheck' for now since a real ldd tool
is not available in Cygwin 1.5. We can change to use the real ldd when
we choose to stop supporting legacy Cygwin and require 1.7.
When kwsys is built using GCC visibility support can be used. This is similar
to the way that Windows exports symbols in DLLs, and requires projects that
build kwsys to change the default visibility using some compiler flags. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility for more details about GCC visibility.
Makefile dependencies must be escaped using cmLocalGenerator::Convert
with the cmLocalGenerator::MAKEFILE option. This fixes Fortran module
dependencies with spaces in the path. We test the fix by adding a space
to one of the module paths in the Fortran test.
The improved text gives very clear information when either the CMakeLists.txt or CTestConfig.cmake file is missing. Hopefully, it makes it easier for those poor future souls who encounter these messages to solve their problems quickly.
If APPEND is given to ctest_start, it will read the tag from the current existing Testing/TAG file rather than creating a new one based on the current time stamp. This allows a developer to run several dashboard scripts in a row, all of which will share the same tag/stamp/buildid when they finally get submitted to CDash. Now you can split the running of build phases and test phases for the same dashboard row into multiple scripts.
Before this commit, the value of PATH at cmake time was put into the eclipse
project file. The problem with this is that this will be lost the first time
cmake is rerun from an build inside eclipse which was started without the
environment externally already set.
This patch now:
-adds the env.var to the cache if it is not already in the cache
-reuses the variable from the cache if it is in the cache, but not in the env.
-uses the variable from the cache if it contains the whole content of the
current env.var (e.g. if it is the full PATH plus the MSVC dirs)
Also store INTEL_LICENSE_FILE in the project file if an Intel compiler is used.

The Eclipse and KDevelop generators set the VERBOSE environment variable to
TRUE in the project files, because they must be able to "see" the full
command lines and errors, otherwise they can't parse the errors. But the
VERBOSE env.var. also enables cmakes own verbose output, which can be quite
long. This commit introduces an environment variable CMAKE_NO_VERBOSE, which
when set disables cmake's verbose output also when VERBOSE is set. This
env.var is now set by both the Eclipse and the KDevelop generators.

Previously we produced commit times formatted like
1261403774 -0500
which is what the Git plumbing prints. Now we use a human-readable
format like
2009-12-21 15:28:06 -0500
which is still easy to machine-parse.
