Since commit 5f5c92b9 (VS: Add internal APIs to find MSBuild,
devenv/VCExpress, and msdev, 2013-11-13) the VS generators have
known how to lookup the locations of their build tools directly.
Expose this information to CMake language code by defining new
variables to hold the paths to these tools.
Drop the "Modules/CMakeVS*FindMake.cmake" files. Override the
cmGlobalGenerator::FindMakeProgram method for VS generators to use their
internal APIs to locate the build tool. Set the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM as a
normal variable for use by project code, but do not cache it. This will
allow CMake and CTest to select the proper tool at build time.
All cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand call sites that need to
produce a string now generate "cmake --build" commands. The remaining
call sites immediately pass the result to cmSystemTools::RunSingleCommand.
Avoid the intermediate string and argument parsing by directly producing a
vector of strings. Also drop the ignoreErrors argument because no call
sites remain that use it.
Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
The MSBuild version for each Visual Studio generator isn't 4.0. With
Visual Studo 2013 the ToolsVersion moved from being tied to the .NET
framework and now has its own version number.
Since we do not need the information about the target architecture
we can use the PlatformName only to specify the this information.
This also removes setting of the MSVC_*_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
which is not required, because this variable gets set by the
compiler detection code in CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK().
Extend the cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand virtual method
signature with a "projectDir" parameter specifying the top of the
project build tree for which the build command will be generated.
Populate it from call sites in cmGlobalGenerator::Build where a
fully-generated build tree should be available.
Implement generator toolset selection (cmake -T) for VS >= 10 by setting
the PlatformToolset. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorToolset test case to
verify CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET when the generator supports -T.
Since commit 485a940e (VS: Simplify MSVC version reporting, 2012-08-23)
all MSVC version information is detected during the compiler id step
from the actual compiler invoked by generated build systems rather than
hard-coded in VS generators. Therefore we can set the PlatformToolset
in VS >= 10 project files and support toolsets from other VS versions.
Since commit ed0075bd (Use relative paths for custom command inputs,
2011-06-22) CMake generates full paths to source files in VS 10 project
files to avoid trouble with deep source/build tree paths. However, the VS
10 IDE will not populate the source file property dialog for a file
referenced by full path. Instead use a relative path when possible. When
not possible produce a detailed warning explaining the problem and
suggesting use of shorter directory paths.
Hide custom command .rule files inside the CMakeFiles directory. Ensure
a short, deterministic, and unique name by using a hash of the directory
path containing the output file. Preserve the file name so the entry in
the IDE is human-readable. Clarify the comment that explains why the
rule file must be created on disk.
Rename cmGlobalGenerator::GetCMakeCFG{InitDirectory => IntDir} to
have a shorter name without a typo. Add a 'const' qualifier since
the method is only for lookup and never needs to modify anything.
The Express Edition does not come with 64-bit tools, but one can install
the "Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1" to get them. Detect this case and
check for the SDK. If found, set PlatformToolset to use the SDK tools.
Otherwise, fail with a concise and informative error.
VS 10 provides $(Configuration) and $(ConfigurationName) but only the
former is documented so we prefer it. This also makes CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR
consistent with its documentation. See issue #9916.
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 method returns the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<version>
A protected GetIDEVersion method retrieves the version-specific part of
the key name.
