Thanks to Pau Garcia i Quiles for the inspiration for the patch.
I've tweaked it a bit compared to what's in the bug tracker: this
commit does not allow empty global variable names.
I also added usage of the new feature to an existing test. Although
it has no effect on the resulting Visual Studio projects, you can
verify that the VSResource test produces a non-empty globals section
in the generated .vcproj(x) files.
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 property was left from before CMake always linked using full path
library names for targets it builds. In order to safely link with
"-lfoo" we needed to avoid having both shared and static libraries in
the build tree for targets that switch on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This meant
cleaning both shared and static names before creating the library, which
led to the creation of CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT to disable the behavior.
Now that we always link with a full path we do not need to clean old
library names left from an alternate setting of BUILD_SHARED_LIBS. This
change removes the CLEAN_DIRECT_OUTPUT property and instead uses its
behavior always. It removes some complexity from cmTarget internally.
- Fixed CollapseFullPath to work on relative paths with base paths
not in the current working directory.
- INCLUDE command now supports relative paths (using above fix).
- Added ABSOLUTE option to GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT command to
unwind symlinks and relative paths.
- Fixed libName_EXPORTS macro definition to be valid C identifier.
- Added DEFINE_SYMBOL target propterty for customizing the export symbol.
- Implemented LINK_FLAGS target propterty for libraries in VC6 and VC7.
Several of these fixes were contributed by Gareth Jones.
