Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Download http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt and place it as
Licenses/LGPLv3.txt in our source tree. When building cmake-gui, use
option CMake_GUI_DISTRIBUTE_WITH_Qt_LGPL to enable notification in the
"About" dialog of how the distribution of Qt is licensed. Install the
license file as ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Licenses/LGPLv3.txt so that the dialog can
display a path to it.
Create a `CMAKE_XDGDATA_DIR` option and add a corresponding flag to the
`bootstrap` script. This is needed for multiarch layouts where the
prefix is `/usr/${host}` but where architecture-independent files (like
the XDG-specific ones) are installed to `/usr/share`.
Create a new dialog window for the cmake-gui that provides controls for
setting the state of suppression of developer and deprecated warning
messages. This replaces the previous single checkbox for setting the
state of suppression of developer warnings.
Added a note for the new functionality to the release notes.
Fixes#15685, where the right Qt5 dlls on Windows were not packaged because
they were not found when relying on the PATH environment variable.
Also some cleanup of code introduced in 8120e13f, but no longer needed with 678aaad1.
The QMacInstallDialog infrastructure no longer works on modern OS X
versions. Drop it and replace the dialog with a simple info box that
explains to the user how to run 'cmake-gui --install' to add symlinks.
Also suggest simply modifying the PATH.
This approach is similar to the Xcode 'xcode-select --install' method
of installing Xcode Command Line Tools.
Use the CPack DragNDrop generator instead of the deprecated PackageMaker
tool to package CMake itself. This provides an installation experience
that is more consistent with other products on OS X and allows users to
select the destination directory easily. It also avoids installing
"/private/var/db/receipts/com.Kitware.CMake.*" receipts that must be
removed by "pkgutil --forget com.Kitware.CMake" before another version
of CMake can be installed.
The DragNDrop installer does not support a post-flight script, so drop
our configuration of it. The cmake-gui has an option for installing
symbolic links to enable command-line use. In practice users may simply
add "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin" to their PATH instead.
Override the QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY cache variable with a regular
variable in the Qt 5 configuration. This avoids linking with the
Qt 4 version of the WinMain library.
Download http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt and place
it as Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt in our source tree. When building cmake-gui,
use option CMake_GUI_DISTRIBUTE_WITH_Qt_LGPL to enable notification
in the "About" dialog of how the distribution of Qt is licensed.
Install the license file as ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Licenses/LGPLv2.1.txt so that
the dialog can display a path to it.
06b0dbe OS X: Drop version number from CMake.app bundle name (#11693)
84af42b Configure NSIS-packaged CMake version and install destination
7655029 Configure NSIS-packaged CMake documentation link in Start Menu
Always name the application bundle "CMake.app". Users can rename it
after installation if they wish. This is the typical approach used by
OS X applications, including Xcode. It allows CMake to be upgraded
without manually re-running CMake in every build tree to update the path
to CMake. It also makes the executable location in the CMake build tree
more predicatable.
Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources.
Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and
cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this
information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods.
Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs.
Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the
executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself,
leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the
location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source
tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the
source tree.
Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build
tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the
install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set
of executables are available in one directory.
The QAbstractItemModel::reset() method is deprecated in Qt 5, and
therefore not part of the API by default (on non-Windows).
The replacement for it is beginResetModel/endResetModel which are
available from Qt 4.6 onwards.
The minimum version of Qt required is currently 4.4, so enable the
deprecated API instead of changing that.
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
Instead of enabling interrupt only when a progress or message callback is called, add a new callback specifically for
interrupt. This new callback is called from GetFatalErrorOccured() so cmake-gui can immediately report interrupt status
instead of calling queuing a call to cmSystemTools::SetFatalErrorOccured() and waiting for the progress or message
callback to be called to process that queued call.
BundleUtilities is better supported and allows including
shared Qt libs on other platforms. Also removed limitation
of static Qt for windows build of cmake-gui.
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.
CMake 2.4 generates old-style cmake_install.cmake code including calls
to the file(INSTALL) command with the COMPONENTS argument. We need to
set CMAKE_INSTALL_SELF_2_4 for the whole install tree to prevent the
command from complaining in this special case. Previously this was
needed only in the QtDialog directory, but now it is needed in the
entire tree.
When CMake 2.4 generates the build tree for CMake itself it asks the
built CMake to install itself using the rules that 2.4 generated. Since
the install rules use undocumented commands that are not compatible from
2.4 to 2.6 we need a special case to avoid failure. This sets a special
indicator variable in the install rules that enables a compatibility
hack to support the old install rule format.
For bug #7191.
Improvements to the dialog that sets up the first configure.
Fixing the large size of it by breaking it up into a wizard.
Also incorporated suggestions from bug report.
the generator on the first configure. It either ask for a toolchain file
or asks for all the information a toolchain file might contain.
Also added option for setting non-default compilers if not cross compiling.
Fixes#6849.
Also a bit of code cleanup and re-organizing.
