Stephen Kelly 5838aba1aa Export: Report error on relative include with genex.
Diagnostics which check the sanity of exported include paths
previously skipped over any path containing a generator expression.

Introduce a policy to issue an error message in such cases.

The export files created in the OLD behavior are not usable, because
they contain relative paths or paths to the source or build location
which are not suitable for use on installation. CMake will report an
error on import.

Brad King beec9dbc53 Help: Organize and revise the cmake-generators.7 manual
Move "extra" generators to their own section instead of duplicating them
for each corresponding main generator.  Divide the list of main
generators into command-line and IDE sections and sort the names within
each section.  Document the environment from which each kind of
generator may be used.

Add a section to each "extra" generator documenting which main
generators may be used with it.

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.
2013-11-19 12:39:39 -05:00
Stephen Kelly 5096967ecd Allow toolchain files to specify an external toolchain.
Clang can compile code, but uses the gcc tools for other tasks such
as linking. The -gcc-toolchain option can be used for that, but
generalize so that other compilers can be treated the same.

If such a location is specified, use it as a hint for finding
the binutils executables.
2013-11-19 12:39:34 -05:00
Stephen Kelly 76552d595d Add compiler target compile options.
For clang, this allows passing -target <triple> to the compiler, and
for qcc, -V<arch> using toolchain files containing something like

 set(triple arm-linux-gnueabihf)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang")
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/clang++")
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${triple})

or

 set(arch gcc_ntoarmv7le)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/qcc)
 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/QCC)
 set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_TARGET ${arch})

Both clang and qcc are inherently cross compiler( driver)s.

When cross-compiling with clang, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
as the _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX to find the appropriate binutils.

When cross-compiling with QNX qcc, use the CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILER_TARGET
to set the appropriate _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX.

Brad King 96966b5c80 ctest: Make the --build-makeprogram optional for --build-and-test
GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to lookup CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM or
choose a generator-provided default build tool.  Therefore the
--build-makeprogram can now be optional and simply override the
default selection when provided.

Note that with --build-nocmake we now need to load the cache in order to
make the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM entry available to GenerateBuildCommand.
2013-11-18 11:30:49 -05:00
Brad King 4ac75fdfe6 Prefer CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM over CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL (#14548)
Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively.  Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.

Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around.  Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules.  Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.

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.

generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall

The source files are already processed by cmQtAutomoc to look for
moc includes, so extend that to also look for ui_ includes and
find corresponding .ui files to process.

This replaces the need to invoke qt4_wrap_ui().

As the ui files are not likely to be part of the SOURCES of the
target, store the options associated with them separately in the
cmMakefile for querying during the autogen run.

Stephen Kelly ff6c401309 cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric properties
When using the boost MPL library, one can set a define to increase
the limit of how many variadic elements should be supported. The
default for BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE is 20:

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/limit-vector-size.html

If the foo library requires that to be set to 30, and the independent
bar library requires it to be set to 40, consumers of both need to set
it to 40.

 add_library(foo INTERFACE)
 set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 30)
 set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
 target_compile_definitions(foo INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)

 add_library(bar INTERFACE)
 set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY INTERFACE_boost_mpl_vector_size 40)
 # Technically the next two lines are redundant, but as foo and bar are
 # independent, they both set these interfaces.
 set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX boost_mpl_vector_size)
 target_compile_definitions(bar INTERFACE BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_VECTOR_SIZE=$<TARGET_PROPERTY:boost_mpl_vector_size>)

 add_executable(user)
 target_link_libraries(user foo bar)

Because the TARGET_PROPERTY reads the boost_mpl_vector_size property
from the HEAD of the dependency graph (the user target), and because
that property appears in the COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX of
the dependencies of the user target, the maximum value for it is
chosen for the compile definition, ie, 40.

There are also use-cases for choosing the minimum value of a number.
In Qt, deprecated API can be disabled by version. Setting the
definition QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0 disables no deprecated
API. Setting it to 0x501000 disables API which was deprecated before
Qt 5.1 etc.

If two dependencies require the use of API which was deprecated in
different Qt versions, then COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN can be
used to ensure that both can compile.

Brad King 2945814de2 cmRST: Teach cmake-module directive to scan bracket comments
When scanning CMake module files for .rst comments, recognize
bracket comments starting in ".rst:" too.  For example:

 #[[.rst:

Include the bracket comment content terminated by the closing bracket.
Exclude the line containing the bracket if it starts in "#".

Teach the CMakeLib.testRST test to cover multiple bracket lengths
and ending brackets on lines with and without "#".

Update the cmake-developer.7 manual to document the bracket-comment
syntax for .rst documentation.

Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require
at least CMake 2.4.  They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0.
