Previously this was used only in multi-configuration generators to
choose the configuration of try_compile and try_run at their build time.
Teach CMake to honor the variable in single-configuration generators as
the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
Factor out generation of SccProjectName, SccLocalPath, and SccProvider
from cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStart and call it from
cmLocalVisualStudio7Generator::WriteProjectStartFortran too.
On Windows platforms source files may contain '\' in include directives:
#include "a\b.h"
Normalize these while scanning to use forward slashes. CMake will
convert from forward slashes to the direction preferred by the native
build tools when writing the path to 'depend.make' files.
Show "<variable|string>" explicitly in if() case documentation whenever
auto-dereferencing occurs. Reference its presence from the explanation
at the bottom.
The signature of get_test_property uses argument order
test property VAR
not
test VAR property
Also document the actual behavior when the property is not found.
Some values simply cannot be escaped properly in all contexts for all
native build tools. Document known limitations after the disclaimer
that states so.
Previously the error message for code like
add_executable(myexe does_not_exist/mysrc.c)
mentioned only that "mysrc.c" is not found. Report the directory too.
Remove the example explained by the misleading phrase "CMake will treat
it as if you wrote". This was originally added by commit a73071ca
(modified the if command to address bug 9123 some, 2009-06-12). Later
related information elsewhere in the documentation was corrected and
made precise by commit cb185d93 (Fix if() command and CMP0012 OLD/NEW
behavior, 2009-10-27) but the misleading example was not corrected.
Replace the example with a correct one that more directly covers the
case that typically surprises newcomers. Avoid recommending a "correct"
way to write code because this behavior is always specific to each case.
Also update the main documentation of the behavior to be more explicit.
Previously the Xcode generator would rerun CMake only if input file
dependencies in the top-level directory changed. Teach it to depend on
input files from all directories. Other generators already do this.

Explicitly state up front that the source-file form of the command links
an executable and expects a 'main' to be defined. While at it, update
the command signature documentation to use a syntax more consistent with
other commands. Also tweak some wording.
Teach the ArgumentExpansion test to expect flattened lists as has always
been the case in the CMake language. Now that the test should pass
enable the failure regex even when CMAKE_STRICT is not on. Replace the
reference to the old ArgumentExpansion test behavior in the workaround

13caaa3 VS10: Finish Midl support (#11461)
Although the LOCATION property is for compatibility with CMake 2.4, the
LOCATION_<CONFIG> property is modern. However, if a project reads it
and sets location-altering properties later the behavior is undefined.
See parent commit for details.
Reading the LOCATION target property currently locks down the result and
ignores any later changes to properties that affect it. This may or may
not be expected and may or may not be the behavior in earlier versions
of CMake. The property is documented as provided only for compatibility
with CMake 2.4 and alternative interfaces are now available for all
originally envisioned use cases. We want to discourage its use without
outright deprecating it. Add documentation to explicitly state that
reading the property before other properties are set is undefined.
Previously, only strings containing "http:" qualified as
URLs when found in CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS. Now, we use a
regex to detect strings beginning with any of the following:
ftp://
ftps://
http://
https://
news://
mailto:
This commit also moves the caller of CreateMenuLinks outside
the "if (cpackPackageExecutables)" block, allowing clients to
use CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS without also having CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES
defined. That bit of this commit fixes the remainder of the
issue described in http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7828
Also, added a set(CPACK_NSIS_MENU_LINKS ...) to the CPackComponents
test to enable verifying that all of this actually works.
CMake fails to find any registry paths on Windows 2000: according to regmon
it fails with an access denied error. I double checked all the access rights
and they are fine. After checking the access modes on MSDN I found that it
says KEY_WOW64_32KEY / KEY_WOW64_64KEY are not supported on Windows 2000.
CMake does not check if the current system supports Wow64 before applying
these flags.
This commit adds a check for IsWow64Process in kernel32.dll before adding
these flags.

MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN is frequently used with NSIS and provides a checkbox
on the finish page of an installer which specifies whether the specified
executable should be run when the installer exits. This commit adds support
for this setting in CPack.
NSIS installers default to assuming the executables exist in a
directory named "bin" under the installation directory. As this
isn't usual for Windows programs, the addition of this variable
allows the customization of this directory and links still to be
created correctly.
Previously both CPACK_NSIS_MUI_ICON and CPACK_NSIS_MUI_UNIICON
needed to be set for either to take effect. This commit allows
either to be set rather than requiring both as users may well
want to e.g. use a default uninstall icon but a custom install
icon.
This commit addresses all of the following:

With this commit, the midl support for VS10 is as
complete as midl support ever was for VS9 and earlier.
The VSMidl test should run on all Visual Studio
generator based dashboards.
CMake no longer sends C++ compiler /D flag values
to the midl compiler in Visual Studio generated
projects. I think if we want to add that in the
future, we should add a way to pass midl compiler
specific flags and perhaps an optional way to add
in the C++ definitions, too. For now, not sending
them along gets past the immediate problem wherein
idl files in a CMake VS generated project just didn't
work at all.
The VSMidl test added in this commit was inspired by
the patch attached to 8165.
The test had to be modified such that it will run in
a directory whose name contains no spaces. There is an
existing bug filed against VS10's midl asking Microsoft
to fix that problem. But for now, the test added in this
commit works by copying the source directory to a location
that avoids spaces in the directory names.

Since commit e4beefeb (CTest: Do not munge UTF-8 output in XML files,
2009-12-08) we validate UTF-8 encoding of build and test output as it is
written to XML files. However, in cmCTestTestHandler::CleanTestOutput
we still processed test output one byte at a time and did not recognize
multi-byte UTF-8 characters. Presence of such characters caused early
truncation.
Teach CleanTestOutput to truncate test output at the limit but without
cutting it in the middle of a multi-byte encoding. Also, stop avoiding
truncation in the middle of an XML tag like "<MyElement>" because the
'<' and '>' will be properly escaped in the generated XML anyway.
This patch makes include() and find_package() prefer cmake files
located in CMAKE_ROOT over those in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
This makes sure that the including file gets that file included
which it expects, i.e. the one from cmake with which it was tested.
It only changes behaviour when such an included file exists both
in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH and in CMAKE_ROOT.
This comes together with a new policy CMP0017, with default
behaviour it behaves as it always did, but warns.
With NEW behaviour it includes the file from CMAKE_ROOT
instead from CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This fixes (if CMP0017 is set)
building KDE 4.5 with cmake >= 2.8.3.
Also a basic test for this policy in included.
Check CMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP<NNNN> for a default when policy CMP<NNNN>
would otherwise be left unset. This allows users to set policies on the
command line when the project does not set them. One may do this to
quiet warnings or test whether a project will build with new behavior
without modifying code. There may also be cases when users want to
build an existing project release using new behavior for policies
unknown to the project at the time of the release.
The header was included only under "#ifdef __linux", but not all Linux
distributions provide the header. SystemInformation uses no symbols

In vs2010 a bad project file could be generated if a .c or .cxx file
was marked with HEADER_FILE_ONLY, if it was in a library that contained
both c and c++ code. This fixes the error in the code, and adds a test
for this case.
If a .sln file refers to a project file with a leading ".\", as in
".\foo.vcxproj" instead of just "foo.vcxproj" or a full path then
msbuild behaves strangely. Whenever target foo is built as a dependency
of another target, msbuild brings multiple configurations up to date
instead of just the requested configuration!
Avoid a leading ".\" in project file references to avoid this behavior.
This alternative fix to that attempted by commit 57e71533 (Avoid msbuild
idiosyncrasy that builds multiple configs, 2010-12-10) avoids use of
full path project file references which vcbuild does not support.
This reverts commit 57e71533f4.
While "msbuild" can handle full paths to project files in solutions,
the old "vcbuild" used for VS < 10 cannot. We will need another
way to fix issue #11594.
For prior versions of Visual Studio we would intentionally pass
"/nologo-" for "verbose makefiles" (CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
when the caller did not already explicitly specify either /nologo
or /nologo-. And we still do. For the prior versions.
This had the side effect of always passing /nologo- for try_compile
operations because try_compile generates projects that have verbose
makefiles on.
However, starting with Visual Studio 10, the compiler emits
"cl ... warning D9035: option 'nologo-' has been deprecated"
when passed "/nologo-".
Therefore, this commit removes setting "/nologo-" for verbose
makefiles in the Visual Studio 10 case to avoid emitting a
warning for every single invocation of the compiler in a given
build.
With Visual Studio 10, we do not set this flag either way
and therefore, the generated project has no value for this
setting and gets Visual Studio's default value, which is
of course "/nologo", which does not produce a warning.
With Visual Studio 10, a caller can still force "/nologo-"
if desired by adding it explicitly to CMAKE_C_FLAGS or
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
One of Cygwin's goals is to build projects using the POSIX API with no
Windows awareness. Many CMake-built projects have been written to test
for UNIX and WIN32 but not CYGWIN. The preferred behavior under Cygwin
in such projects is to take the UNIX path but not the WIN32 path.
Unfortunately this change is BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE for Cygwin-aware
CMake projects! Some projects that previously built under Cygwin and
are Cygwin-aware when they test for WIN32 may now behave differently.
Eventually these projects will need to be updated, but to help users
build them in the meantime we print a warning about the change in
behavior. Furthermore, one may set CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32 to request
old behavior during the transition.
Normally we avoid backwards incompatible changes, but we make an
exception in this case for a few reasons:
(1) This behavior is preferred by Cygwin's design goals.
(2) A warning provides a clear path forward for everyone who may see
incompatible behavior, and CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32 provides a
compatibility option. The warning and compatibility option both
disappear when the minimum required version of CMake in a project is
sufficiently new, so this issue will simply go away over time as
projects are updated to account for the change.
(3) The fixes required to update projects are fairly insignificant.
Furthermore, the Cygwin distribution has no releases itself so project
versions that predate said fixes tend to be difficult to build anyway.
(4) This change enables many CMake-built projects that did not
previously build under Cygwin to work out-of-the-box. From bug #10122:
"I have built over 120 different source packages with (my patched)
CMake, including most of KDE4, and have found that NOT defining
WIN32 on Cygwin is much more accurate." -- Yaakov Selkowitz
A fully compatible change would require patches on top of these project
releases for Cygwin even though they otherwise need not be aware of it.
(5) Yaakov has been maintaining a fork of CMake with this change for the
Cygwin Ports distribution. It works well in practice. By accepting the
change in upstream CMake we avoid confusion between the versions.
CMake itself builds without WIN32 defined on Cygwin. Simply disable
CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32 explicitly in our own CMakeLists.txt file.
Previously, we would search in the Windows registry for the path
to makensis, and fail immediately if we could not read the registry
value, assuming that it was simply not installed.
This change looks for makensis in the PATH even if the registry value
is not there, enabling the scenario where makensis is installed without
admin privileges and never even touches HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE during the
non-admin install.
In VS9 and previous versions, :VCReportError is the goto label
to jump to after a failed custom command. It stops the build
before it tries to go any further.
In VS10, :VCEnd is the correct label to use.
Create a method in the VS generators to provide the correct
line of script to use for each version of Visual Studio.
For more internal details, search for VCEnd in the
C:\Program Files\MSBuild directory.
The KWSys SystemTools::GetMaximumFilePathLength method is poorly
conceived and should not be used. The cmDepends code honors its own
MaxPath buffer size. Just hard-code it.
The first instinct of a lot of users is to use file(GLOB) to assemble
lists of sources. Add a warning to the help text stating that it should
not be used for this purpose and briefly explain why.

Evaluate in the COMMAND arguments of custom commands the generator
expression syntax introduced in commit d2e1f2b4 (Introduce "generator
expressions" to add_test, 2009-08-11). These expressions have a syntax
like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during build system
generation. This syntax allows per-configuration target output files to
be referenced in custom command lines.
The target_link_libraries command requires its first argument to be a
target in the current directory. Document this and update the error
message to be more specific. While at it, format the error message with
a call stack.
Previously the OUTPUT arguments of add_custom_command were not
slash-normalized but those of add_library and add_executable were.
This caused the example
add_custom_command(OUTPUT a//b.c ...)
add_library(... a//b.c ...)
to fail at build time with "no rule to make a/b.c". Fix this and modify
the CustomCommand test to try it.
This method replaces '//' with '/' to make the paths look nicer.
Originally it correctly skipped a leading '//' in a UNC path as the
comment says. However, commit "Removed extra variable initializations"
(2005-04-15) accidentally removed the "pos=1" initializer. It was then
incorrectly restored by commit "Added missing variable initialization"
(2005-04-15) as just "pos=0". Restore the proper initializer.
The test for this added by commit "better coverage" (2006-07-31)
included incorrect output for a sample UNC-like path. Fix it.
Pass the full version to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION) in generated
CMake files for try_compile projects. This tells CMake not to use any
backward compatibility behavior while processing code it generates.

globally. For global targets this will find the local copy. For for
