The idea is to write to a temp file which contains generator
expressions, and at generate time, evaluate the generator expressions,
and write the result to a file.
Because executables on Windows are limited in the length of command line
it is possible to use, it is common to write command line arguments to a
file instead and specify the file as a source of arguments.
This new FILE(GENERATE) subcommand allows the use of generator
expressions to create such files so that they can be used with
add_custom_command for example.
Commit 060d6e88 (Add support for windres to cygwin, 2010-12-23) and
commit b2f308c8 (Add support for windows resources with mingw/msys,
2010-12-22) introduced enable_language(RC) for the first time in a
platform file processed by a bootstrap-built cmake.
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 introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables. Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them). Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
- Re-enable enforcement in cmMakefile::EnforceUniqueName
- Improve error message to help user resolve the problem
- Fix Modules/CTestTargets.cmake to not duplicate testing targets
- Move commands used by the changes to Modules/CTestTargets.cmake
to build during bootstrap: DEFINE_PROPERTY, GET_PROPERTY
- Add --qt-gui and --no-qt-gui options
- Add --qt-qmake=<qmake> option to help locate Qt
- Build more commands during bootstrap to help FindQt4.cmake:
MATH, GET_DIRECTORY_PROPERTY, EXECUTE_PROCESS,
SEPARATE_ARGUMENTS
- Bootstrapping with the cmake-gui is now possible in MSys
- Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH among other means
to locate package configuration files.
- Create cmFindCommon as base for cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand
- Move common functionality up to cmFindCommon
- Improve documentation of FIND_* commands.
- Fix FIND_* commands to not add framework/app paths in wrong place.
write generators for IDE projects, which use already existing makefiles
(current the kdevelop generator)
-first stept of the export interface, iniitial export() command
-more replacements for the FIND_XXX docs

STYLE: create a new base class cmCoreTryCompile, from which
cmTryCompileCommand and cmTryRunCommand are derived, so there are no public
static functions with lots of arguments anymore
