When an object file directory is too deep to place an object file
without exceeding CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX, this issues a warning.
Previously we silently ignored the problem. See issue #7860.
When computing the maximum length full path to the build directory under
which object files will be placed, pass the actual path instead of just
its length. This will be useful for error message generation.
These changes refactor cmLocalGenerator methods Convert and
ConvertToOutputForExisting to support references inside the build tree
using relative paths. After this commit, all tests pass with Makefile
generators when relative paths are enabled by default. See issue #7779.
A Mac OS X Framework should provide a Resources/Info.plist file
containing meta-data about the framework. This change generates a
default Info.plist for frameworks and provides an interface for users to
customize it.
Some native build tools, particularly those for cross compiling, may
have a limit on the length of the full path to an object file name that
is lower than the platform otherwise supports. This change allows the
limit to be set by the project toolchain file through the variable
CMAKE_OBJECT_PATH_MAX.
When creating an IMPORTED target for a library that has been found on
disk, it may not be known whether the library is STATIC or SHARED.
However, the library may still be linked using the file found from disk.
Use of an IMPORTED target is still important to allow per-configuration
files to be specified for the library.
This change creates an UNKNOWN type for IMPORTED library targets. The
IMPORTED_LOCATION property (and its per-config equivalents) specifies
the location of the library. CMake makes no assumptions about the
library that cannot be inferred from the file on disk. This will help
projects and find-modules import targets found on disk or specified by
the user.
In switch statements that deal with only a few target types, use a
'default' case for the remaining target types instead of listing them
explicitly. This will make it easier to add more types in the future.
Custom command dependencies that are not full paths or targets may also
match source files. When one does, the full information about the
source file's location and name may be used. This fixes the case when a
custom commands depends by relative path on a source file generated by
another custom command specifying its output by relative path.
When generating RPATH entries on the link line using a repeated linker
flag (-R ... -R ... style) do not convert individual entries to a full
path. We need to preserve what the user requested.
When generating escape sequences for the native build tool do not put in
Makefile escapes for paths generated into link scripts. This fixes
putting "$ORIGIN" into the RPATH, and probably some other subtle
problems.
- Create MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST target property to specify template.
- Look for MacOSXBundleInfo.plist.in in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH by default.
- See issue #6983.
- Remove CMP_0001 (no slash in target name) and restore
old CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY check for it
- Replace all checks of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
with cmLocalGenerator::NeedBackwardsCompatibility calls
- Create new CMP_0001 to determine whether or not
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is used.
(old = use, new = ignore)
- Show CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY in cache only when
CMP_0001 is set to OLD or WARN
- Update documentation of cmake_policy and cmake_minimum_required
to indicate their relationship and the 2.4 version boundary
- When no cmake policy version is set in top level makefile
implicitly call cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4) which restores
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY and other 2.4 compatibility
- Fix tests MakeClean and Preprocess to call
cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6) because they depend on new policies
- Move computation of extended build-tree rpath
to cmComputeLinkInformation
- Only enable the extended build-tree rpath if
the target will be installed
- Generalize the interface of file(CHRPATH)
- When changing the rpath on installation only
replace the part generated by CMake because
the native tools (ex SunCC on Linux) might have
added their own part to the rpath
- Move runtime path ordering out of cmComputeLinkInformation
into its own class cmOrderRuntimeDirectories.
- Create an instance of cmOrderRuntimeDirectories for runtime
path ordering and another instance for dependent library
path ordering.
- Replace CMAKE_DEPENDENT_SHARED_LIBRARY_MODE with explicit
CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_FILES boolean.
- Create CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARY_DIRS boolean.
- Create variables to specify -rpath-link flags:
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_RPATH_LINK_<LANG>_FLAG
CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_RPATH_LINK_<LANG>_FLAG
- Enable -rpath-link flag on Linux and QNX.
- Documentation and error message updates
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
- This is purely an implementation improvement. No interface has changed.
- Create cmComputeLinkInformation class
- Move and re-implement logic from:
cmLocalGenerator::ComputeLinkInformation
cmOrderLinkDirectories
- Link libraries to targets with their full path (if it is known)
- Dirs specified with link_directories command still added with -L
- Make link type specific to library names without paths
(name libfoo.a without path becomes -Wl,-Bstatic -lfoo)
- Make directory ordering specific to a runtime path computation feature
(look for conflicting SONAMEs instead of library names)
- Implement proper rpath support on HP-UX and AIX.
installing without having to link the target again -> can save a lot of time
chrpath is handled very similar to install_name_tool on the mac. If the
RPATH in the build tree file is to short, it is padded using the separator
character.
This is currently disabled by default, it can be enabled using the option
CMAKE_USE_CHRPATH. There are additional checks whether it is safe to enable
it. I will rework them and use FILE(READ) instead to detect whether the
binaries are actually ELF files.
chrpath is available here
http://www.tux.org/pub/X-Windows/ftp.hungry.com/chrpath/
or kde svn (since a few days): http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/chrpath/

function which returns the RPATH, so e.g. the install rpath can be queried
when the command for the build rpath is created. This is a first step for
supporting chrpath.
