If CMAKE_<lang>_FLAGS contains quotes or other CMake language characters
they must be escaped when written into the generated CMakeLists.txt file
so that the test project parses them properly.
Teach the TryCompile test to cover this case by adding a flag with
quotes into CMAKE_C_FLAGS during a C language try_compile.
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the
toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear
from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users
to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails.
Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned
when configuration fails.
We have two mappings for the "/MAP" flag. The first does not care
whether there is a value and activates the GenerateMapFile boolean
setting. The second takes a value and puts it in the MapFileName
setting. The latter must treat the ":" as part of the flag.
This is similar to commit 8ae66bf4 (Fix optionally-valued booleans in VS
10 flag table, 2009-10-23).
The wording "Commands in the file are processed immediately as if they
were written in place of the include command" sounds as if some kind of
macro replacement is performed. This is not accurate. Update the
wording to describe behavior of the included code in terms of the
variable access scope.
We support multiple commands per external project step by using
the COMMAND keyword. Document this behavior and show an example.
While at it, document that shell operators and current working
directory behavior is not defined.
CMake requires the top-level CMakeLists.txt to contain a direct call to
the project() command and will insert one if there is not. Document
this requirement since some authors have tried to use include() to load
a file calling the project command.
If a non-IMPORTED library is added to the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES
of a IMPORTED target, the non-IMPORTED target needs to become a
target dependency and link dependency of the consuming target.
This is already the case since commit 30962029 (Make targets depend
on the link interface of their dependees, 2012-12-26), and fixed in
the parent commit, so test that it works.
This was missing from commit 30962029 (Make targets depend on the
link interface of their dependees., 2012-12-26), which caused
only immeditate entries of the link interface to become target
depends.
Add to the brief documentation of the Visual Studio 10, 11, and 12
generators the corresponding VS product year. Clarify that VS11 is for
Visual Studio 2012, and VS12 is for Visual Studio 2013.
The line
set( ${basename}_LIBRARY )
removes the normal variable, but if the corresponding cached variable is
present then line
list( APPEND ${basename}_LIBRARY optimized "${_libname}" )
uses that and fails. Replace the original line with
set( ${basename}_LIBRARY "" )
to set the normal variable to empty instead of unsetting it.
