CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not exclusive to them. Refactor generation of these flags to use new purpose-specific platform variables CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries. Add a new POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior. Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to allow easy global configuration in projects. Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely. We must leave it set in case projects reference the value. Furthermore, if a project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new value to be used. Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with projects that modify this platform variable. Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get meaningful results.
This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is distributed under the BSD License, see Copyright.txt. For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake or visit http://www.cmake.org. Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake If you don't have any previous version of CMake already installed -------------------------------------------------------------- * UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin: You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find the in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based projects: $ ./bootstrap; make; make install * Other Windows: You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html . Then proceed with the instructions below. You already have a version of CMake installed --------------------------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
