The swig wrappers don't really depend on git (but rather on swig) and there can be
situations the builder wants to generate the wrappers also from a tar ball.
Several were only there because they used to be generated via autogen.sh
and hence had to be included because autogen.sh was not supposed to be run
in a tarball based build.
A few others aren't clear so I have left them in for now:
- gnucash.1 (man page)
- gnucash-design.info (because it's unclear what we want to do with that one)
These files should clearly be in the tarball:
- gnucash.pot -> for our translators
- ChangeLog -> can't be generated outside of a git repo
- gnc-vcs-info.h -> can't be generated outside of a git repo
- guile/python bindings -> to avoid a swig dependency when building from tarball
- the two dist_add_... macros now both take a list of file names
as argument so more files can be added at once to the dist tarball.
- dist_add_generated now creates the right target by itself. There's
no need to pass one any more
- make the swig generated *.py module files explicit output files
- change a couple of custom_targets into custom_commands. The only
reason they were defined as targets was to ensure they got built
before the dist tarball. This is now properly handled by the
dist_add_... macros.
- correctly handle dependency on swig-runtime.h (using OBJECT_DEPENDS
was not the way to do it according to that property's help page)
cmake with unix makefiles fails to resolve dist dependencies
added from COPY_FROM_BUILD if these dependencies aren't built yet.
This commit replaces the COPY_FROM_BUILD based logic with two new functions
'dist_add_configured' and 'dist_add_generated' to indicate which files should
be included in the dist tarball. The latter also adds a target level dependency
to the dist tarball custom command. Hence the former should
be used for files that get generated during a cmake run while the latter
should be used for files generated as the result of a 'make/ninja-build' run
(like files for which an add_custom_command rule exists).
Note: this commit also temporarily disables the dist target when building
from a tarball (and hence it won't be tested in distcheck either). This
will be handled in a future commit.
This includes removal of the now unused make-gnucash-potfiles.in,
checking for CMakeLists.txt rather than Makefile.am in gnc-vcs-info,
upating the HACKING file,
and generally updating references to autotools.
I have kept "Makefile.*" exclude patterns in our CMakeLists.txt files
because they may still be lingering in the source directory from
previous autogen.sh runs. At some point these should probably be
removed as well still, together with the gitignore references to them.
Thanks to Robert Merkel for reporting them.
* Build gnucash-design.info if makeinfo is available, but don't complain
if it isn't.
* Fail Cmake if LibXSLT and xsltproc aren't found. Those are required to
build the gschemas and GnuCash won't work without them.
* Fix the WebKit detection so that it isn't faked out into thinking it has
WebKit2Gtk-4.0 when it's WebKit2Gtk-3.0 and cmake is run with a
CMakeCache.txt present.
as it doesn't load proper backend.
The cause was that the libdbi-driver path in CMakeLists.txt was wrong
and GNC_DBD_DIR was being set unconditionally in etc/gnucash/environment
with an invalid path.
Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC,
GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set
outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the
operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr,
/usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes
CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws
mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.
It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories
anywhere they please.
Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so
the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc.
If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This
works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of
the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and
SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path.
If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the
build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the
absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR
replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are
appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake
and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without
Binreloc.
WITH_OFX, WITH_SQL and WITH_AQBANKING handling is fixed. The
dist files for these features are always included in the dist
tarball.
I added code for WITH_GNUCASH=OFF to error out when trying to
create a dist tarball. Not fully tested because WITH_GNUCASH=OFF
itself does not build.
Still need to backport fixes from unstable for WITH_PYTHON=OFF.
gtk-mac-bundler can't access the executable's rpath list so it can't
follow dependencies if they're not in $install_dir/lib from @rpath.
Autotools always sets absolute path install names so this should have no
adverse affects on other Mac builds.
