Brad King 69d73d27cb Help: Mention in find_package that cmake-gui step is Windows-only (#14781)
Recently used cmake-gui locations are searched only on Windows because
the Windows registry is used to record the values.  This behavior is
historical and may be removed by a policy in the future so rather than
implementing it on other platforms simply document the current behavior.

Stephen Kelly 1a9316a808 add_definitions: Don't document genex support.
This command does not support generator expressions. The documentation
was mistakenly extended to claim it in commit v3.0.0-rc1~60^2~3 (Help: Mark
up the buildsystem commands documentation, 2014-02-03).

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.

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.

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.
